Here is a short quicky (I hope).  I am trying to do the following:

find . -type d -exec grep string {}/* \;


However, find apparently does not expand the braces unless they are
separated by spaces.  I've tried a variety of quotes and backslashes,
but no go.

I've always ended up writing a tiny shell script in the past to do this,
but there's got to be some easy way I'm missing.

email is fine...

Thanks
