People have mentioned using xargs in combination with find, but if
you're dealing with Windows files on a server, be prepared for every
kind of crap character in the filename you can imagine. Use nulls
to delimit the filenames, i.e.:
find . -mtime +7 -print0 | xargs -0 grep -i foo
The GNU versions of find and xargs support the "0" options as well.
