Hi
I have a directory of 10000+ text files and would like to search for
some strings in these files. When I tried using "grep" command with an
asterisk, I get the error message somthing to the effect,
"File argument list too long"
What is the file argument limit for grep? I guess you need the grep source
for this. I did not find any information in the man page.
Are there any other recommended tools to search through such large list of
files?
Thank you in advance.
