Is there a grep equivalent for find's -print0 and xargs's -0 switches?

Question

I often want to write commands like this (in zsh, if it\'s relevant):

find  | \\
    grep stringinfilenamesIwant | \\

As you are already using GNU find you can use its internal regular expression pattern matching capabilities instead of these grep, eg:

find  -regex ".*stringinfilenamesIwant.*" ! -regex ".*stringinfilesnamesIdont.*" -exec dosomecommand {} +
