[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi all,

Suppose the file content is as below:

abc.h

hello world




the output of grep "*.h" file and grep -E "*.h file" are different, from my understanding, they should be the same, '*' is a regular expression meta-character. the output should both be abc.h.

Please help clarifying this issue!
