(apologies in advance if this one is incredibly obvious to anyone out there, i've been at this one for some time now)
What I've got is a newline-separated list of filenames to search the contents of around 2,000 XML files for, and return the name of that file. This seems like a job for a "for" loop, so I enter this on the command line:
Code:
for i in `cat ~/targets.txt`; do grep -l -m 1 $i *.xml; done
The problem here is that one of my target filenames might appear in more than one file - I only want grep to return the very first match in the very first file that it finds, and then stop and move on to the next iteration of the loop. (Which is what I was attempting to do with -m 1)
Any ideas here?

Hi
This time I'm trying to grep for an exact match
e.g
cat.dog.horse.cow.bird.pig
horse.dog.pig
pig.cat.horse.dog
horse
dog
dog
pig.dog
pig.dog.bird
how do I grep for dog only so that a wc -l would result 2 in above case.
Thanks in advance
