=>Number 2 worked good, but I'm having problems getting it all to work
=>in one line.
=>
=>I tried spam.spam which just takes args like spam.spam file1 file2
=>file3, etc.
=>
=>I've tried your number 2 piped into spam.spam, and spam.spam piped
=>into your number 2, neither worked. It works if I run your number 2
=>then copy and paste after spam.spam.
=>
=>This will work for now, I'd like it so that I could just run one
=>file... But right now don't have much time.
I've been listening to this thread and for the life of me, I'm just not
sure I understand what it is that you're looking for, but just on the
offchance that I *do* understand:
grep -l alsdjf *
