For pravin27's code, if the input txt file has two b1b, but no d1d, it will also export the filename. If there are more b1b, d1d, (more than 2), if will not list it.

Here is the fix:

Code:
find . -name "*.txt" -exec awk '
/b1b/{a=1}
/d1d/{b=1}
/a1a/ || /c1c/ {c=1}
{if (a==1&&b==1&&c==1) {print FILENAME;exit}}' {} \;
./infile.txt
