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 | \\
          


        

Answer 1

Use

find  -print0 | \
 grep -z stringinfilenamesIwant | \
 grep -zv stringinfilesnamesIdont | \
 xargs -0 dosomecommand

However, the pattern may not contain newline, see bug report.
