Hi,

There is sometimes a need to find all files which contain
several words (in any order, possibly lying on different lines)
(printing matching lines or not).

I think (am i wrong) that this cannot be done with *grep.

Could it be interesting to add that option to egrep ?
I am enclosing a working Perl script as demo.
e.g.
# mgrep -i gnu author ++ *.c *.h
will retrieve all source files that contain somewhere
the words "gnu" and "author".

This could be implemented as an option (like -a -- "AND")
which will consider words delimitated by bars in regexp
or from an external source (-f) as combined.

Best regards
and thanks you all GNU gurus !
