Hello,

I want an one line command that brings me back all the files in a folder that contain 4 specific words anywhere inside them.

I want to use find,xargs and grep. for example i know for one word the command would be:

find . | xargs grep 'Word1'

But i don't know for 4 specific words what i should do.

Thanx

you can use egrep "word1|word2|word3|word4"

thank you,
but i don't think that this is what i want.this will give me and the files that only contain word1 and not word2 and word3 and word4.

I want the files returned to contain all 4 words

Try...

Well thank you very much,

but i don't want to use the command perl. I want to use the commands find,xargs and grep. Is it possible??

try egrep

find . | xargs egrep "word1|word2|word3"

thank you,
but i said to the previous post this is not what i want.this will give me and the files that only contain word1 and not word2 and word3 and word4.

I want the files returned to contain all 4 words.Also i want to use the commands find,xargs and grep.
