Both of these work fine for me in Cygwin (on Windows XP): grep -nH -r "my pattern" --include "*.log" . grep -nH -r "my pattern" --include=*.log . > >Neither does > > > >find "." -name "*.log" -exec grep -nH "my pattern" {} \; as does that > > find "." -name "*.log" -exec grep -nH "my pattern" \{\} \; and that. The quoting of . and {} is not needed. Perhaps the real problem is with "my pattern".
