Why don't you use the -f option?
Code:
grep -rl -f strings.txt /path/to/search/*

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/* Thanks upstate boy Last edited by upstate_boy : 05-17-2008 at 12:51 PM.

Era - I'm not sure how to inspect in the way you are asking but I've deleted the stings.txt and created a new one with vi adding the string back - no copy/paste. When trying grep -rl -f strings.txt I'm still seeing the same behavior as already described.
Thanks upstate boy
