If you want just this (and I think you don't, at least interpreting your
previous post), then you can do

find /src/dir -type f -exec egrep 'alter|modify|replace' '{}' \;

If you need to do more things or something else, you have to be more precise
in specifying what you want.

Is there any ls command to show me complete file´s pathname ?

How could I get this ?

Thank you.

Use find.

There are at least two options. You can add the (nonstandard) -H option to
egrep in the above command. You can use the -l option instead, but this
prints only the filename (not the matching lines).

Or, as Janis suggested, just have find return the list of files and use
xargs to pass the list to grep. This way, grep automatically prints the
name of the file.

If you have lots of files, the latter option is probably more efficient.
Beware of files with spaces or strange characters in their name.

Depending on your shell, this may not catch hidden files and directories at
the first level.
Also, using -F /might/ be more efficient.
