Question Searching multiple files with multiple expressions
I am using a DEC ALPHA running Digital UNIX (formly DEC OSF/1) and ksh. I have a directory with hundreds of files that only share the extension .rpt. I would like to search that directory based on serial number and operation number and only files that meet both requirements to be printed out. I am new to scripting and have been try to do this with grep but have not had much luck.

here is a sample of the file: (120205462.rpt)

mopd

MOPD(8) 						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						   MOPD(8)

NAME

     mopd -- Maintenance Operations Protocol (MOP) Loader Daemon

SYNOPSIS

     mopd [-adf] [-s mopdir] [interface] [...]

DESCRIPTION

     mopd services DEC Maintenance Operations Protocol (MOP) Load requests on the Ethernet connected to interface or all interfaces if -a option
     is given.

     In a load request received by mopd a filename can be given by the client.	This is the normal case for terminal servers.  If a filename isn't
     in the client load request mopd must know what image to load.

     Upon receiving a request, mopd checks if the requested file exists in /tftpboot/mop (unless the -s option is given, see below) the filename
     is normally uppercase and with an extension of .SYS.  If the filename isn't given, the ethernet address of the target is used as filename,
     e.g.  08002b09f4de.SYS and it might be a soft link to another file.

     mopd supports two kinds of files.	The first type that is check is if the file is in a.out(5) format.  If not, a couple of Digital's formats
     are checked.

     In normal operation, mopd forks a copy of itself and runs in the background.  Anomalies and errors are reported via syslog(3).

OPTIONS

     -a      Listen on all the Ethernets attached to the system.  If -a is omitted, an interface must be specified.

     -d      Run in debug mode, with all the output to stdout.	The process will run in the foreground.

     -f      Run in the foreground.

     -s      Change the directory to look for files in from /tftpboot/mop to mopdir.

FILES

     /tftpboot/mop

NOTES

     mopd automatically appends an upper case .SYS to the filename provided by the client.  The typical client sends the requested file name in
     upper case.
