I want to find a specific string that I know existed in the past in one of my projects that is under CVS version control. However, I don't remember which file or which revision it existed in. Is there a way to do this.
Just realized I could go into the cvs repository and do a
which is a hack but works.
Kind of a pain though, anyone know an easier way?

Are you asking if there is an easier way using your versioning software? Or an easier way to locate the filenames via grep?
grep -H -r "my string" "/path/to/cvs"
The "H" switch will list the filenames, the "r" is recursive.

coop, I meant a better way via CVS, but that is a better grep.
