Ok. The start point for this message is that I am a klutz and I don't know what I'm doing.
Well. Not really true. I do know what I'm doing and I know that I'm doing it wrong. So give us a hand. I used to use GREP supplied with Borland Turbo C and Delphi. All worked fine. New job. New pc. Not using C or Delphi. Using Cygwin for PHP source and documentation. Want to use grep to look for a certain string "%v%v" in all the .c files. So... grep -e%v%v -R *.c but this does nothing. Instead I get an error saying grep: *.c: No such file or directory If I go back to my windows DOS prompt and do dir *.c /w /s /-p in the same directory, there are 1,481 files taking 34MB. So what gives. Thank you. -- ----- Fight back spam! Download the Blue Frog. http://www.bluesecurity.com/register/s?user=UlF1YWRsaW5n
