The command "grep -r --include=*.${extension} '${search_term}' ${file_name}" is used to search for a specific term or pattern inside files with a specific file extension within a directory and its subdirectories.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

• "grep" is a command-line tool used for searching patterns within files.
• The "-r" option stands for "recursive" and instructs grep to search files in the directory and its subdirectories.
• The "--include=*.${extension}" option specifies that grep should only search files with a specific extension, denoted by the variable "extension". By using the backslash before the asterisk (*), it prevents shell expansion and treats it as a literal asterisk.
• '${search_term}' represents the term or pattern you want to search for, enclosed in single quotes. The variable "search_term" is substituted with the actual search term you want to use.
• "${file_name}" represents the specific file or directory where you want to perform the search. The variable "file_name" is substituted with the actual file or directory you want to search in.

To use this command, you need to replace the following variables with your desired values:

• "${extension}" with the desired file extension, e.g., "txt", "csv", etc.
• "${search_term}" with the term or pattern you want to search for.
• "${file_name}" with the specific file or directory you want to search in.

For example, if you want to search for the term "hello" in all text files within the current directory and its subdirectories, you would run the command: grep -r --include=*.txt 'hello' .
