There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. on a windows xp/sp2 platform. i am trying to run the following: grep -r --include='*.c*' 'dat' c:\tc\cdev and i get nothing returned. basically, i want to initiate a recursive directory search targeting only check the *.c and *.cpp files for the specified string. is there NOT a straight-forward way to do this with this tool? if i run "grep -r 'dat' c:\tc\cdev" i get output along with output from files i do not want. i have also tried other variations of the flags. thanks, scott
