Hi,

I've read the previous posts in the group and I thought I had the correct 
syntax but.... I must be doing something wrong.

----------<quote>-------------------------------
D:\temp\MANSYS>"c:\Program 
Files\GnuWin32\bin\grep.exe" -ir --include="*.rec" "version" .

---------<endquote>-------------------------------
No result, however:
---------<quote>-------------------------------
D:\temp\MANSYS>"c:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\grep.exe" -i "version" *.rec
Version=200

D:\temp\MANSYS>"c:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\grep.exe" -i "version" 
207\SPLPT007.REC
Version=200
---------<endquote>-------------------------------
There are at least two files (and many more for that matter) where the 
pattern is present.

In the end what I'm looking for are *.REC files with a single quote ' in the 
file somewhere. I would probably use something like:
D:\temp\MANSYS>"c:\Program 
Files\GnuWin32\bin\grep.exe" -ir --include="*.rec" "'" .

I'm using the latest version of the software.
---------<quote>-------------------------------
D:\temp\MANSYS>"c:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\grep.exe" -V
grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1

What am I doing wrong?
