As someone who's thought about learning elisp, I'd say your first effort
sets a high standard! :)
I have a suggested modification: I think the line
"find %s %s -type f | xargs grep %s -n \"%s\""
is improved by this
"find %s %s -type f | xargs grep %s -n \"%s\" /dev/null"
(not sure if you need to escape the slashes.)
This way, grep won't miss any hits in the last file that find produces.
Also, I think there is a way to handle file names with spaces in them by
using a print0 argument to find, but I have never been able to get that to
work on my NT / cygwin box.
