How can I make a grep searching in a specific file but within several subfolders?
Something like grep -R "busca" /home/apps/*/teste.php
The asterisk is the indication that I want to search in all directories within /home/apps but only inside the archive teste.php that exists within these subfolders.

Your command (grep -R "busca" /home/apps/*/teste.php) search only the file teste.php in folders that are a level below /home/apps/.
That is, if the file is /home/apps/pasta/teste.php, it is found. But if it is /home/apps/teste.php or /home/apps/pasta/subpasta/teste.php, these will be ignored.
A way to search all subfolders is by using the option --include to specify the file name, and indicate the folder from which the search will be made:
grep -R "busca" --include="teste.php" /home/apps
So he searches for the files called teste.php who are within /home/apps (and the option -R ensures that it will search in all subfolders).
Another option is to use find to fetch the files, and then pass them to grep:
find /home/apps/ -name "teste.php" | xargs grep "busca"
Only that both the above solutions also make the search in /home/apps/teste.php, if there is. But if the idea is to take only from a certain level, you can use the option -mindepth:
find /home/apps/ -mindepth 2 -name "teste.php" | xargs grep "busca"
In the case, -mindepth 2 makes files one level below the folder /home/apps are ignored. That is, /home/apps/teste.php will be ignored, but /home/apps/pasta/teste.php and /home/apps/pasta/subpasta/teste.php nay.
Perfect, got it, thank you very much!
Sure, Done :D
