List file names where certain keywords are missing. 1

[gsgb1]

Hello,
I have over 200 .txt and .ksh files in a directory having keywords like Revision, Author, Date etc.
Some of the files do not have these keywords in them, and some have 2 out of 3.
I want to identify files that are missing keywords in them.
I could do following to find where its existing, but I want the other way, Files not having keywords.
find . -exec grep -q 'Revision' '{}' \; -print

Any help?

Thanks.

Use grep -E -c and filter for not having :3:
find . | xargs grep -E -c 'Revision|Author|Date' | grep -v ':3'


Hope This Helps, PH.

Try

for file in *.txt *ksh
do
  if ! egrep -i "Revision|Author|Date" $file > /dev/null
  then
    echo $file
  fi
done

OK it's not pretty but it works
