Subject: using grep in dired mode: best method for ascii files
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2004 23:03:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3u0v8dq74.fsf@pdrechsler.fqdn.th-h.de> (raw)
Hi,
can somebody give my a pointer in the manual on searching a
folder (including subfolders) for a regexp? The subfolder include
many binary files. I don't want to search the later.
I've tried `grep-find', 'A' and `find-grep-dired`. Also marking
the folders of interest in dired-mode. Often enough I end up
with a grep error `123'.
What I'm looking for is a command to find a regexp within my
files containing (ascii-)code.
Thankful for pointers,
Patrick
