Follow-up Comment #6, bug #17623 (project grep): This would break compatibility, but distinguishing based on case would be a simple option: -r/-R. For example, grep in Heirloom <http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/> seems to be doing that. Afaict, for grep 2.7 -R, -r, --recursive are all the same.
>From Heirloom grep man <http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/man/grep.1.html>: The following options are supported as extensions: -r With this option given, grep does not directly search in each given file that is a directory, but descends it recursively and scans each regular file found below it. Device files are ignored. Symbolic links are followed. -R Operates recursively as with the -r option, but does not follow symbolic links that point to directories unless if they are explicitly specified as arguments. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17623> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
