Update of bug #31702 (project grep):
Status: None => Confirmed
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #1:
The options --include and --exclude were designed as an extension of the
"recursive search" feature, option -r.
In that context, it works as expected:
grep main . -r --include="*.c"
grep main . -r --exclude="*.c"
If you want more flexibility, the Unix way is to use the proper tool: "find"
is designed to search for files:
find -name '*.c' | xargs grep main
find ! -name '*.c' | xargs grep main
But back to your report:
yes, it seems that at --include combined with -r does nto behave sensibly.
