Somewhere in the past year I'd found the DECUS grep utility. The other day someone here complained that it didn't support wildcards on the filenames, so they reckoned it was useless... A quick search turned up the ELVIS vi clone sources, which contain a neat trick. the VMSWILD.C include file allows you to have wildcard support quite easily. After about 10 minutes, GREP now supports wildcards :-) if you're interested, ftp (anonymous) to coco.cchs.su.oz.au ftp> cd [.grep] I hope this isn't some old, old hack that everyone already has... :-} +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + Luke Brennan e-mail: brennan@coco.cchs.su.oz.AU + + EDP Unit, S209 lukeb@casino.cchs.su.oz.AU + + brennan%coco.cchs.su.oz.au@cunyvm.BITNET + + Cumberland College of Health Sciences, ,-_|\ + + The University of Sydney voice: +61 2 646 6402 / \ + + East Street, Lidcombe, NSW 2141 fax: +61 2 646 4853 \_,-._* + + AUSTRALIA v + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
