you could use find-dired to execute something like:
find . \( -name <file-patten> -exec grep -q <in-file-search-pattern> {} \;
\) -exec ls -lGd {} \;
find-grep-dired unfortunaly goes through all readable files it finds on its
way. of course you could make your own extended "find-in-files-grep-dired",
were you asked the user for a third string representing the file-pattern and
put something like above together.
cheers, oliver
