d/l the entire php documentation as individual html files. This equates to a LOT of files in a single directory (how can I get a count of this?) Anyway, I'm trying to find the docs on some features that the www.php.net's search isn't really helping on (searching for __FILE__ doesn't search for __FILE__ ... it searches for file, and there's too many results) so I try: grep __FILE__ *.html and I get the error: -bash: /usr/bin/grep: Argument list too long Is this a shortcoming of bash, grep or FreeBSD? I'm assuming it's not grep, as the command: find . -name *.html -print | xargs grep __FILE__ yeilds: -bash: /usr/bin/find: Argument list too long
try grep "__FILE__" *.html.
to get a file coun, 'ls | wc' might work. -- Paul Beard: seeking UNIX/internet engineering work <http://paulbeard.no-ip.org/paulbeard.html> 8040 27th Ave NE Seattle WA 98115 / 206 529 8400 Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.
