if these two strings exist in the file, i want the entire line that they're found on to be outputted to the screen.

so in your example, i want something that would search for "sweetdeal" and "nothing", and when BOTH of these strings are found on different lines, I want them to be outputted like this:

awk '/sweetdeal/ && /nothing/' foo.txt:

sweetdeal
nothing

awk '/sweetdeal/ || /nothing/' foo.txt

or you don't want to have dups in the output?
