I seemed to have found a bug in
address@hidden --version
grep (GNU grep) 2.4.2
This is running from cygwin on Windows NT4.0 w/ Service Pack 6
the problem is with the recurse directories '-r' option. If no matching
filetypes are found in the current directory grep does NOT proceed to
recurse the subdirs.
for e.g. running "grep -r void *.cpp" on the following dir tree
returns "grep: No match" without checking the subdirs code1 and code2
.:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 Administ None 0 Aug 1 20:41 code1
drwxr-xr-x 2 Administ None 0 Aug 1 20:41 code2
code1:
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 Administ None 9 Aug 1 20:41 blah.cpp
-rw-r--r-- 1 Administ None 20 Aug 1 20:41 blah2.cpp
code2:
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 Administ None 10 Aug 1 20:41 blah3.cpp
-rw-r--r-- 1 Administ None 21 Aug 1 20:41 blah4.cpp
