Code:
 
#!/bin/ksh
while read filename
do
 find . -type f -name "$filename" | xargs nawk -F"[\"=]" ' /DmidRef RefName/ {print $3}'
done < filenames.txt

Awesome!
Thank man!

Can you please explain this to me
-F"[\"=]" ' /DmidRef RefName/ {print $3}'

I can understand that print $3 will return the third string/variable.

What does -F"[\"=]" do?

This gives clear picture for your question.

Code:
 
$ echo "A:B:C:D:E" | nawk -F: '{print $3}'     # uses :(colon) as delimeter
C

$ echo "A:B|C:D:E" | nawk -F: '{print $3}'    # uses :(colon) as delimeter
D

$ echo "A:B|C:D:E" | nawk -F"[:\|]" '{print $3}' # uses :(colon) & pipe as delimeter

C

so, in your case, i used " (double quotes) and = (equal symbol) as delimeter

And this is to check whether the line has the pattern and if yes, then only print the 3rd field.
Code:
 
/DmidRef RefName/
