Grep mutiple patterns with 'AND' operator
Hello, I'm trying for days to do a grep without any success. Smilie

I have two patterns being:
1 - Master en Achats
2 - complet

Code:
$ find /var/www/mysite/uploads/files/*.doc -exec egrep -l --ignore-case "Master en Achats|complet" {} \;

The problem is that the grep command is done with an 'OR' operator listing files having pattern1 or pattern2.Smilie

I want the grep command to search files having both pattern1 'AND' pattern2 within it.

How should I write the command? Smilie

There is no logical AND in grep.

use:

Code:
.... grep "pattern 1" | grep "pattern 2"

Thanks for your reply but I don't know how to write the syntax.
Hi thanks for your reply, I'm new to linux and I don't exactly know how to write the syntax.

I've tried:
HTML Code:
$ find /var/www/hrmtest/cache/upload/*.doc -exec egrep -l --ignore-case "Master en Achats" {} | egrep -l --ignore-case "complet" {} \;
But it's not working and it's giving me an error.

It's Not Working
Hello, I've just tried the above command:

HTML Code:
$ find /var/www/hrmtest/cache/upload/*.doc -exec egrep -l --ignore-case "Master en Achats" {} | egrep -l --ignore-case "complet"
It's not working, it's saying:

HTML Code:
find: Paramètre manquant pour « -exec »

This is not the issue.
This command is working.

HTML Code:
$ find /var/www/mysite/uploads/files/*.doc -exec egrep -l --ignore-case "Master en Achats|complet" {} \;
I'm able to grep the ms word documents having mutiple patterns but I can only do an 'OR' search.

But I want to be able to do a grep with an 'AND' instead of the 'OR' operator to list only those files containing both patterns.

But i don't know how to write the syntax for an 'AND' multiple pattern search.

Please help! Smilie
