Ok, thanks Neil, but this is still not what I'm looking for... here's a
snip of what I got:

What I'd like is the output you get with

'grep -ir "searchstring" .'

which includes the line of text from each matching file that contains
the searchstring, like this:

but...

What I'd like is for each output line showing the file-hit to be
prefaced with at least the date/time of the file (permissions/owner etc
would be ok too, but I at least need the date/time), like you get when
doing an ls -al...

Is this just not possible?

Thanks again...
