grep is not a part of coreutils, so you're asking in the wrong list. But if it were me, I would try something like: $ find D -name no\* -o -name uh\* -print0 | xargs -0 grep abc The 'find' command is designed specifically for this purpose and has many more features and knobs for recursion, compared to trying to make grep do this job.
