And watch out for silly file names containing whitespace.
BTW: if this is a contest on creative use of find(1) and other
standard tools:
$ find . -type f | sed '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@grep -l -- foo @' | sh
Yes, this isn't robust against whitespace, either PLUS it's
inefficient. But in some cases the find ... | sed ... | sh pattern
is quite useful.
Sometime ago I have had the same problem with spaces in filenames and
dealing with them as xargs parameters. There I have used (here only as
an example):
find . -print | grep -i ' ' | xargs -I {} ls -ald {}
FYI, that has been on a non-OpenBSD system.
I4m not at my OpenBSD system at the moment, so I can4t check whether
OpenBSD xargs supports the shown options. Maybe someone may test it.
One may check this at a directory with space-containing filenames.
Without the "-I {}" and "{}" parts you get funny output.
Have a nice day
