Nothing. This is the expected behaviour. The shell expands *.java, and then runs grep -rn file1.java file2.java file3.java - none of which are directories, so grep can't recurse into them. Try: find -name '*.java' | xargs grep -n systemRsrc Max. -- 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/
