>From the grep man-page: --include=PATTERN Recurse in directories only searching file matching PATTERN.
What type of PATTERN can be used here (i.e. glob, regex, extended regex, etc.)? For example, I want to search recursively below a directory D, but want to check only files starting with "no" or "uh". How do I do this using --include ? I tried the following: # glob pattern grep -r --include="{no,uh}*" abc D and the following: # extended regexp grep -r --include="(no|uh).*" abc D but neither variant located my files. But I know that there are files matching, because # Look at all files grep -r abc D shows some matching files starting with 'no' and 'uh'.
