Re: Doing a file filter with grep

[RealityMonster]

Perfect. I read the man page, but I didn't realize '--include' was an
exclusive pattern (despite it saying that RIGHT THERE). This'll be easy
to write a wrapper around so I can search by directory and pattern
without having to type --include=*.foo all the time.

Thanks,
