I'm trying to locate files created within a certain date range that contain the string "field" more than once. I've tried using:
find messagefolder -mtime -78 -exec egrep -il 'field.*field*' {} \;
but its only returning a couple of results.

egrepworks one line at a time. If there are two distinct lines with a singlefieldeach, they won't match. Do you want them to match? Does this explain why you got fewer results than you expected? – Kamil Maciorowski – 2019-04-13T07:32:30.650
