Jan 13, 2018 at 13:01	comment	added	Vitaliy Terziev		George, I've marked ilkkachu's reply as answer because of the structured and detailed explanation. However I've +1 yours yesterday since it is also correct to some extent.
Jan 12, 2018 at 23:35	comment	added	Vitaliy Terziev		Thanks guys, so @steeldriver / George, sorry for asking again same question but the command line, is it reliable for what I am looking for? I will try the -H flag as well for getting the file names/paths.
Jan 12, 2018 at 19:28	comment	added	George Udosen		Would `+` not be ok too, and the `-print` prints all file names
Jan 12, 2018 at 18:48	comment	added	steeldriver		With `\;` you are passing only a single file at a time to `grep`, so it won't print the filename by default - you will need to add the `-H` option if you want it to add the name. Or add a `-print` to the find command.
Jan 12, 2018 at 17:45	comment	added	George Udosen		Remove the `\;` and use `+` and see if it helps
Jan 12, 2018 at 17:41	comment	added	Vitaliy Terziev		Thanks, George. I think your solution is working but id does not show the path of the file, I've modified it a bit - find ./ -name "example.xml" -newermt "2017-01-08" -exec grep "videoplayer.1" {} ./ \; Do you think that it is reliable?
