Use the command as below if you just want to list the filename: -
1) find . -exec grep “description” ‘{}’ \; -print | grep “./”
2) find . -exec grep “description” ‘{}’ \; -print | grep “./” | awk ‘{ print substr($0,3) }’
Command (1) will display the result with ./ while command (2) will not display it.
