No, and it isn't done, since that would be "xargs -egrep" or "xargs -E grep". > Do you really want to use xargs -e at all? > If so why not xargs -E? Because -E requires a an eof-string while -e does not. > Maybe this is confusion with grep -e. I suppose not, but the -e option for xargs is probably superfluous. It had always been used since grep-find was introduced in Emacs 20; anybody who remembers the reason (if any) for it? Sven
