TLR> How can I do this?
M-x find-dired <ret> # Invoke find-dired
. # on the current directory
-name '*.java' # insert the *.java name pattern
-exec grep -q GenericAction {} \; # edit the grep command
When the find command finishes mark all files as in any dired buffer.
Finally, use A (dired-do-search) to search them interactively.
Hope this helps,
