Someone kindly provided the following very useful one-liner
to find all <recent> files containing 'a string':-

find ./ -ctime -2 -exec grep -l "a string" {} \;

Now I want command/s to find files containing MULTIPLE strings like:
"dog", "cat", "fish"

== TIA

Is egrep what you're looking for?

Use egrep:
egrep -l "dog\|cat\|fish" {}

Sorry - doesn't work here.

egrep -l "\(dog\|cat\|fish\)" *

works, but

find . -exec egrep -l "\(dog\|cat\|fish\)" {} \;

doesn't work.
