why this find does not printing into file ?
Hello all
I have this simple find operation that doing find and then grep me some string from within the pages
but I like to print the result to text file without success, this is what I have :

find . -name "*.html" | xargs egrep -h "<#.*env.exec\(*" > myStr.txt
I see the results , there is results but
the myStr.txt remains empty

Maybe there is others way to do the sane job , just to eliminate the possibility that something wrong on my side ?
by the way there is lots of output from that find maybe there is some limit ?
