using your example,

i want to search for the words "sweetdeal" and "nothing".

if these two strings exist in the file, i want the entire line that they're found on to be outputted to the screen.

so in your example, i want something that would search for "sweetdeal" and "nothing", and when BOTH of these strings are found on different lines, I want them to be outputted like this:

Code:
awk '/sweetdeal/ && /nothing/' foo.txt:

sweetdeal
nothing
