finding certain text within a document - command line query

[Shawz]

I am trying to run this command but wish to modify it so it outputs files that contain both 'quality=x' and 'quality=vg'. Not just 'quality=x'. how do I modify it so it works

find . -name \*.meta | xargs grep "^quality=x" | cut -d : -f 1 > /tmp/test

if its any clearer this is what I want it to do...

find . -name \*.meta | xargs grep "^quality=x" OR "^quality=vg" | cut -d : -f 1 > /tmp/test

Try egrep '^quality=x|^quality=vg'

Running xargs here is redundant as you can use the -exec option of find.

find . -name '*.meta' -type f -exec egrep '^quality=x|^quality=vg' {} \; | cut -d : -f 1
