I want to find files in Linux, in a specific directory without looking into its subdirectories, which contains in their text a specific string. From this answer, i tried this after removing the r of recursion  :

grep -nw '/path/to/somewhere/' -e "pattern" 

But it not working. I tried also this with skipping directory optin:

grep -rnw -d skip '/path/to/somewhere/' -e "pattern" 

I tried to exclude any directory that its different than the current directory but also no way

grep -rnw -exclude-dir '[^.]' '../../path/to/somewhere/' -e "pattern"
