I had some fun with this one lately. =)
perl -e '@gl=qw/word1 word2/; print grep {$t = $_;grep {$t=~/$_/} @gl } <>'
I call that a "double grep". Others may call it perl "golf". =)
(Note, everything I think I'm inventing I discover has already been invented
many times, so I probably won't take credit, even though I didn't get this
from anywhere.)
Let me know if you want to understand how it works but can't figure it out.
