$ find ./ | grep -v svn | xargs grep '\-\>Promotion'But today I couldn't get that working. Something with xargs escaping of -> just refused to fly.
So I installed ack and ran it:
# cpan App::AckAnd it found what I was looking for with zero fuss!
$ ack '\-\>Promotion'

grep -r is nice but you're still going to dig through a lot of files you dont need.
Ack has a really nice --perl option to filter for *.pl *.pm *.t, saving you some typing.
You could do:
ack -- '->Promotion'
and thus skip the backslashes.
