Do a man on the details.
Basically, it negates the "arg list too long" message.

I am trying to do something similar, but I need
to get the results ONLY with matching BOTH search
patterns. When I did the above example I got
results with both patterns AND with either pattern.
For example, I only want to find "date" and "Finished"
and maybe another string from a text file not just "date"
or just "Finished"...
Thanks in Advance!
