Pass file like list of params to find command

Hi everybody,

I have a list of ids and I need to find all files that contains this ids, the ideia is delete all this files.

This command returns me all files but in the same line:

find . -type f -print0 | fgrep -zFf temp

ps: temp is a file with all ids.

How can I find all files that contains all these ids?

thanksss

By contain I assume you mean that the id is in the contents of the file; you seem to be checking for the id in the file name. If you mean to search for the ids in the contents of the files, try the following:

Code:

find . -type f -execdir fgrep -lf temp '{}' ';'

This will, for every file in the directory, call

Code:

fgrep -lf temp <filename>

The -l says to print out the name of the file if, and only if, it matches one of the patterns in temp; no other output is generated.

As a side note, "fgrep" is the same as "grep -F", rendering a second -F unnecessary.
