egrep output each file in new line
I have the following script that searches in several files and shows the search results and the matches filename on the screen.

Code:
find . -exec egrep -wH "word1|word2" {} \;

the output from the search display as:
Code:
file1
word1
word2

I need to show each file search output result on new line.
for instance:
Code:
file1:word1:word2

some of the files missing both string of the search query or having blank spaces between words,

Anyone know how I can get each file search results on new line?

Thanks

It doesn't show up like that on my system (Linux) -

Code:
$ 
$ find . -exec egrep -wH "word1|word2" {} \;
./file2:word2
./file3:word2
./file3:word1
./file1:word1
./file1:word2
$ 
$

Thanks durden

i was running the search command:
# find . -exec egrep -iH "word1|word2" {} \; (with "i" instead of "w")

with the files content as:
word1
novilf
polbem
word2
lofteer

and i got the following output:

./file1:word1
./file1:word2
./file2:word1
./file2:word2
./file3:word1
./file3:word2

instead im trying the output to be as:
./file1:word1:word2
./file2:word1:word2
./file3:word1:word2


appreciate for your help
