I am trying to do the following 1. Find all files that contain the word gold 2. Find all files that contain the word sheep 3. Find the intersection of 1 and 2 above (those files that contain the word gold and sheep)
Here is how I am trying to do this in bash
comm -12i < (grep -l gold * | sort) < (grep -l sheep * | sort)
but I get the following error
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
A space after '(' doesn't help, and neither does taking it off. Why is this a problem and how do I solve it?
You were very close:

The space in front of the ( has to be deleted.
comm -12 <(grep -l gold * | sort) <(grep -l sheep * | sort)
On my system comm has no -i option, so I erased the i too.
