Testing Jims Command.
To test Jims command this is what I did.

File 1: Created with "char1"
File 2: Created with "char2"
File 3: Created with "char1" & "char2" on the same line.
File 4: Created with "char1" & "char2" on 2 different lines.

Jims command finds file 3 only. It does not find File 4 which is also needed.
