I'd like to be able to use GREP to looking into subdirecties as well. I saw a GREP v2.0 that had added this functionality. I found it at http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/grep.html. From what I get, it's based on GNU grep 2.0, the latest being 2.4.2. GUN grep 2.0 itself is from 1996, maybe he really should upgrade. :) You can probably patch grep to do the same, but there are other ways you can do the same: find . -type f | xargs grep string grep string `find . -type f` Kurt -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
