- 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... :-}
