I'd do a grep instead of a find.

grep "your string of text" *

Subject: can find search for text inside files?


I need to search a number of e-mail files for specific text.

Can find look at each text file in a directory, and search them for a
specific string of text?

and if so, could someone provide a sample command line for find? 
I've read
through the man page, but...

TIA
