I tried grep on the r directory from SemiViva0.4 and confirmed that a simple
search on *.m
does complain of "Argument list too long", but searching on D*.m works fine,
for instance,
to find "OUTX" in any routine with a name that begins with "D":
grep OUTX D*.m
You can also search the whole directory with the -r flag (recursive search of
directories). This will also work for searching through all routines in
installations
where the routines are broken out into 30 or so subdirectories. The example
below searches
all files in the current directory (".") or in any subdirectory.
grep -r OUTX .
