Hello:
grep : -r (recursive) option does not work in the follwing context:
grep -ri string *.c
The command is ran from a top directory but in this case the c files are at a
lower level.
Grep exits without "going" to look for c files (in this example) in the lower
level directories. Error message: "No such file or directory".
I do believe that the -r option should either disable the error checking for
this, or (better) only issue it if no qualified file is found in the
directory tree.
Thanks for your attention.
Andre
