Seraching for files in directory

How do I serach for all the files contaning ,
name="vvvvv"
in a particular directory?
I tried
grep -l name="vvvvv" *
but seems like due to " this is not giving correct output.
Thanks!

use: find /path filename

There's a bit of a split in meaning there. That can be read as either "In a directory, filenames containing "vvvvv'", or it can be read as "files in a directory containing the value "vvvvv".
One way to match simple patterns is via globbing:
ls **vvvvv**
Will show all files where "vvvvv" is anywhere in the filename. For more complex patterns, pipe the output of the "find" command into grep:
find . | grep "vvvvv"
To find occurrances of "vvvvv" IN files in a directory, just use grep:
grep "vvvvv" *

I think he wants files that contain the exact string
name="vvvvv"
quotes and all. The easiest way to do this would be to use single quotes to
surround the grep pattern:
grep 'name="vvvvv"' *
Single quotes prevent the shell from doing anything with the double quotes.
