You could write a simple script doing the matching, aka /tmp/match.sh
containing these lines:
#!/bin/sh
cat "$1" | tr '\n' ' ' | grep -qE 'import javax\.swing.*new
BufferedReader' && echo "$1"
and a suitable find invocation
$ find DIRECTORY -name '*.java' -exec /tmp/match.sh "{}" \;
Unfortunately, this will invoke the script for all ".java" files below
DIRECTORY which is why I would not use it on large amounts of data.
To search for special characters, e.g. the sequences of spaces
mentioned, you can use extended regular expressions.
