grep -l pattern filespec
For example:
grep -l -i viagra d:\mail\outgoing\*
The -i means "case insensitive".
grep comes from Unix. Microsoft has a suite of Unix tools for
Windows. It used to be called "Services For Unix"; I think they
changed the name. It's free now. Alternatively,
<http://unxutils.sf.net/> has it (also free).
If you fire up a Unix shell (sh.exe from UnxUtils, or whatever),
then you can do a neat pipeline:
mv $( grep -l -i viagra d:/mail/outgoing/*) d:/mail/junk
(The slashes for directories go the other way in Unix.)
