If I use the command:
grep -nH -r "my pattern" *.*
I get results back as expected
But if the file pattern is like this:
grep -nH -r "my pattern" *.log
I get no results back (Even though I have a ton of files with this pattern
with .log file extension).
Am I doing something wrong?
in the second case the "-r" is looking for *.log
file or directories and I guess the directory does not match.
Try
find . -name "*.log" -exec grep -nH "my pattern" \{\} \;
