in article <4864@crystal1.UUCP>, mostek@motcid.UUCP (Frank B. Mostek) says:

Move the '\;' to the other side of the '|':
alias sea 'find \!:1 -name "\!:2" -print -exec grep \!:3 {} \; | more '
This, however, only works for explicit filenames. To use (quoted)
wildcard characters, add an 'eval' and some extra '\'s:
alias sea 'eval find \!:1 -name \"\!:2\" -print -exec grep \!:3 {} \\\; | more'
Then 'sea subdir \* pat' will work. The '-print' causes *every* filename
to be printed out. Without it, you can only get the filenames for matching
files printed out with 'xargs' or a for loop, ala P.J.Falstad's suggestions.
