  | Hi I'm looking for a quick bash script to get a list of all the *.jar
  | files that have the file SAXParser.class in them
  | 
  | find /c -name '*.jar' -exec unzip -l '{}' \;  |  \
  |    grep 'SAXParser.class' >/c/results.txt
  | 
  | This nearly does it, but I really want '{}' (ie the jar filename)
  | Any bash gurus have an idea?

when in doubt, do the simple thing --- write a _shell_ script,
rather that what is in essence a _find_ script ....  I would
use something like:

    find /c -name '*.jar' -print | while read jar; do
        unzip -l $jar | grep 'SAXParser.class' >/dev/null && echo $jar
    done >/c/results.txt

the above is not tested; your mileage may vary; there
are obvious robustness issues but they seem unlikely
to matter (per request for a "quick script") ....

cheers!
