I only want to know if the file contains both keywords. I realize grep may not be the solution for this; may need to write a script of some sort but grep or some equivalent would be much faster.</p> <p>More Info:</p> <p>I have a file that contains:</p> <pre><code>stuff blah explore morestuff explore here foo </code></pre> <p>I want to be able to search that file for to see if both blah and foo appear in the file.</p>AndyThu, 30 Dec 2010 17:12:19 -0500http://linuxexchange.org/questions/1467/is-there-a-way-to-search-a-file-looking-for-two-or-more-words-that-appear-in-the-filescriptbashsearch-files
