How about looking at using xargs to feed grep. grep will stay resident and active for each file fed to it. The command would look something like ls * | xargs -t grep -l "string" Replace 'ls *' with whatever you use to get a list of filenames. remove the '-t' if you don't want to see the individual commands. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
