Thank you!

I already thought it must be easier than grepping through it myself.
However, I did not find the right places in the manpage of find in order
to solve this.

I already knew about -print0 - in fact, I am using it regularly.
However, this would have interferred with my grep, thus, I avoided it.

Again, thank you for giving me the starting point to really understand
find.

Best regards,
Spiro.
