Shell Programming and Scripting

How about

Code:

find . -type f -ls -exec file {} \; | paste -s -d'\t\n' | grep -E "SQLite|XML"

Don't use + as the find line delimiter as that would NOT print line pairs.

You are genius! Wow! Really impressing. Why this is working without an opening parenthesis? I added one and it is working too. I am stumbled

Code:

*SQLite*|*XML*)

Greetings to all and thank you to all

Thanks too to RudiC

I just saw your answer now. Your command looks completely logic and very elegant; its surly working on your computer, but not on my Mac and with tcsh - ah! and in bash too.

The command

Code:

paste

does not like the delimiters and is answering

Code:

usage: paste [-s] [-d delimiters] file ...

Code:

*SQLite*|*XML*)

in a case statement is the old Bourne shell style.
The newer Posix standard allows

Code:

(*SQLite*|*XML*)

that looks better in text editors with syntax highlighting.
