In Unix/Linux systems it relies on the shell to do that job. In other words, if the above command is run under (e.g.) the bash shell, what the program sees is a list of file names. It does not see "*.txt". The message you quote above shows that whatever shell you were using has just passed "*.txt" to pcregrep. I am not a Windows user, so I have no idea about any kind of globbing under Windows. Anybody else on this list care to answer?
