Grep help (match two strings one line)
Hello,

Here I have some grep command which is not working correctly:

Code:
cat file1.txt:
apples
Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2013  8:14:06 -0800
peaches melons
cherry sky cloud
green purple
yellow

cat file2.txt:
apples
Date
peaches melons 0800
cherry sky cloud
green purple
black

Now broken command is:
Code:
egrep -lir "apples|melons|cherry" /home/test/* | xargs grep -l "Date" | xargs grep -l "0800"

See first argument: file must contain apples OR melons OR cherry
Then, second argument: same file must contain "Date" and "0800" ON SAME LINE

So file1.txt should match but not file2.txt - right now both match

Thanks for the help - I think I need grep with regexp to match "Date:[any][any][any]0800" type command to catch "Date" and "0800" on same line....
