I'm using grep 2.5.1 on a Windows XP system. I'm trying to use grep to find
all text files in a directory tree that contain a certain string. I have tried
all of the following, and none of them work:

grep -ir --include="*.txt" database
grep -r --include="*.txt" -i database[returns "grep: (standard input): Not 
enough
space"]

grep -ir --include="*.txt" database .
grep -r --include="*.txt" -i database .
[returns "grep: .: Invalid argument"]

grep -ir --include="*.txt" database /
grep -r --include="*.txt" -i database /
[returns "grep: /: Invalid argument"]

This seems like a straightfoward use of grep. Am I doing something wrong? Or
is this grep just not working correctly?
