From: Mark.Bevan@gwent.wales.nhs.uk Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 9:47 AM I was having some trouble using grep to look for text in files.From some tests it looks like meta characters cause the problem to showitself :
To get more info regarding the use/setup of rxvt+bash: Use google.com on "site:cygwin.com rxvt" - I bet you'll find a lot of information.
C:\temp>grep text /temp/*.txt GREP: /temp/*.txt: No such file or directory
C:\temp>grep text c:/temp/*.txt c:/temp/test.txt:text
I have upgraded to latest release of Cygwin and this has not changed things. I have tried the above on a Windows 98 and Windows XP system as well - same results.
Any ideas how I get around this problem ?
Wonder how much other win32 grep's are floating there around. -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/
