I tried grep -rl -f strings.txt /path/to/search/* > result.txt

Same problem, the string in strings.txt is being split up:


/sample/string in/strings file/title.jsp

I'm guessing it is being split into these 3 strings:

/sample/string
in/strings
file/title.jsp

I know that if I do this grep, I get only 3 results as opposed to the 1588 results I get with the grep -rl -f strings.txt method.

grep -rl "/sample/string in/strings file/title.jsp" /path/to/search/*
