I want to use an if/then that tests for the existence of a string in 4
files. Usually I do this by checking the exit code of grep, when i'm

Hi 4 everyone,
I have a little problem:
i have a file list in /tmp/iadmos (contains 28 file name which are in the
current directory, i made this list with:
egrep -il 'trt_attr.*[,]iadm' t*.dcl /tmp/iadmos
then I want to cut out the files which don't contain the string 'NOIADM'.

then I want to cut out the files which don't contain the string 'NOIADM'.
So I did:
for i in `cat /tmp/iadmos` ; do egrep -lv 'NOIADM' $i ; done

for i in `cat /tmp/iadmos` ; do egrep -l 'NOIADM' $i ; done
which gave
11 matches
