[wideback]

I am trying to find out if there is any way to search for blank areas around words. I am trying to make a command that seachs files/folders mostly text files for: white space and a single caracter.

meaning i would like to be able to find:
f f f
ff
f
f
fffffff

If i were using the command.

thanks for any help,

look up the man page for awk or actually its gawk these days, it does that kind of thing

so does 'find', but find doesnt spit out what you want, even if piped into something else I dont think
