Thanks for the explanation and the solution provided, and sorry that it
is
not related with grep and has to do with shell globbing.
Unfortunately, this solution doesn't work in my directory, because I have
probably very big files and grep just fails after a very long time
searching (2 minutes) with this message:
address@hidden public_html]# grep -i -r i80word .
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x08ae0e00 ***
Aborted
Thanks for providing this information. It looks like a bug in grep,
and thus I think its maintainer wants to know about it.
Could you please write to the list the output of
grep --version
and roughly the size of the files in that directory tree? Maybe also
the operating system you use. The maintainer may have more questions
about this issue.
Thanks,
Ralf
