grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1 Maybe I am missing something, I am unable to get grep to recurse a directory tree. See example... ================================ U:\Distrib\Win2K\Images>dir *.inf /b hi.inf ho.inf U:\Distrib\Win2K\Images>dir FI600E\*.inf /b SYSPREP.INF U:\Distrib\Win2K\Images>head FI600E\SYSPREP.INF ;SetupMgrTag [Unattended] OemSkipEula=Yes UnattendMode=FullUnattended DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore U:\Distrib\Win2K\Images>grep -ir Oem *.inf U:\Distrib\Win2K\Images>del *.inf U:\Distrib\Win2K\Images>grep -ir Oem *.inf grep: *.inf: Invalid argument ================================ It only found *.inf in the current directory, and if I remove those it further compalins that no filespec matching files exist. Also this grep seems to not like to have stdout piped to it for it to grep upon. U:\Distrib\Win2K\Images>grep --help | grep -i version grep: fstat: Invalid argument Annoying beast! I'd like to move to this one since it is open source and more current and standard, but this is a bit crazy in my opinion... need the simple stuff to work! ;-) On Linux with the same build of grep, the piping works fine, but the recurse is also a pain there. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
