Find all files containing string not following symlinks CAT (modified) output content to /filename
This should recursively walk through all dirictories and
search for a specified string in all present files, if found
output manicured content (eg some regex) with CAT into
a specified directory (eg /tmp/)
one by one, keeping the original names

This is what I have so far, which seems to work. But the output filenames come in one string and I can't figure out how to CAT them one by one into regexed files one by one collocting them in one target dir.

xargs -r0 --arg-file | (find . -type f -exec grep -lZi string {} + )
