Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.

Iterate through directories and search into files
Hi everyone, I have a list of directories: - a..z and 2003..2008 ...inside of a single directory. Can someone advise what the shortest shell pipeline would be to search for two words (on two separate lines) within all files located only the alpha directories, and then print the filename to STDOUT? I know this is very efficient, but since I don't need to do this often, it will be easier than maintaining but yet another Perl script.
