That's exactly correct. Your original command was asking Bash to expand the command-line to: grep '__FILE__' file1.html file2.html file3.html ... file3000.html and that's just too many arguments to be passing around. By quoting '*.html', `find' is doing the pattern-matching internally, and it can do this without an upper bound on the number of files it can match. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
