You should be able to control the string that you _grep_ for using (say) `--exec echo "__my_delim__ {} __miled_ym__"` or equivalently `--no-simulate --print after_move:...` options where the ellipsis is an...

The entire option value has to be quoted including the `echo` command: I should have shown that, but the quoting is shell-specific. The command line is being parsed like this:...
