Yep youthinks right. The problem is in the glob expansion rather than grep then because the first recipe does find the .file for me too. Hm that makes a lot of sense because I noticed this when I saw grep was not descending into ~/.blah/ when given
cd ~ grep stuff * -R
of course
echo *
doesn't show .files either.
See the "dotglob" option in the bash manpage.
My favorite..
find . -print | xargs grep -i <string>
Slower, but in my experince, pretty bulletproof.
Yep - this is my favourite also.
