List grep results

Hi

I need to search for matching strings in a database and I want to print out all files that matches in "detail", which means that I want the output to contain datum of last saving. I only get the grep function tp print the actual file names which is not enough since the database is to large and I need to sort in date....

Greatful for all help,
Ola

Sorry, maybe I was a bit unclear, but the problem is a little bit more complicated, that commando will only print the file name and not any other information, like date whem file was created.....

mc is the bane of unix - IMO
redirect the output to a file, then edit the output file...

Code:
grep 'whatever detail I need'  /path/to/db/files/*.dbf > outputfile
then open outputfile an read it.

slire,

Its not possible to get the file creation date in UNIX. Thats the answer i have got after going thru the threads on this topic. The only things u can get are time of last modification n time of last access. Weird, but apparently true.
