Details:
I've read the pertinent areas of the man page a couple of times, but I may
yet just not be understanding something. However, it appears that --include
acts the same as --exclude. Test case:
-----
$ grep --version | head -1
GNU grep 2.6.3
$ dpkg -l | grep grep
ii grep 2.6.3-3 GNU grep, egrep and fgrep
$ mkdir test; cd test
$ cat > test.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main ( ) {
printf( "Test\n" );
return ( 0 );
}
$ ln test.c test.cxx
$ ln test.c test.cpp
$ ls
test.c test.cpp test.cxx
$ grep main * --exclude="*.c"
test.cpp:int main ( ) {
test.cxx:int main ( ) {
$ grep main * --include="*.c"
test.cpp:int main ( ) {
test.cxx:int main ( ) {
-----
Am I missing something really simple?
