>From the grep man-page:
--include=PATTERN
Recurse in directories only searching file matching
PATTERN.
What type of PATTERN can be used here (i.e. glob, regex, extended regex,
etc.)?
For example, I want to search recursively below a directory D, but want
to check
only files starting with "no" or "uh". How do I do this using --include
?
I tried the following:
# glob pattern
grep -r --include="{no,uh}*" abc D
and the following:
# extended regexp
grep -r --include="(no|uh).*" abc D
but neither variant located my files. But I know that there are files
matching, because
# Look at all files
grep -r abc D
shows some matching files starting with 'no' and 'uh'.
