Try that: find /home -type f \ ! -path "*/csvn/*" \ ! -path "*/Android*/*" \ -name "*.*" -print0 \ | xargs -0 grep -lZ 'repos' \ | xargs -0 grep -l 'github' That should output the pathnames of the matching files. You were feeding the matching lines to the second grep. > The above cmd returns the err > xargs: argument line too long Surprising. -- francis _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
