The following code works better for me: ======================== g() { if [ -n "$2" ] then i= for s in $2 do if [ -n "$i" ] then i="$i --include=*.$s" else i="--include=*.$s" fi done else i='--include=*.txt --include=*.ini --include=*.*sh --include=*.c* --include=*.h --include=*.js --include=*.reg' fi grep -P -e "$1" -r $i } ======================== The two changes I made: 1) Avoid putting a space at the front of the first "--include=*.$s" argument. 2) Double quote, not escaped single quote, the "$1" parameter to grep. The parameter " --include=*.ini" was not a valid "--include" argument to grep; rather it looked like a filename to grep, as its first character was a space. The escaped single quotes around the "$1" parameter meant that you were not looking for the three character pattern "sys", but rather for the five character pattern "'sys'" (which is less likely to have appeared in your test data.) -- Paul Jackson pj@usa.net From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Tue Dec 31 15:58:34 2019 Received: (at control) by debbugs.gnu.org; 31 Dec 2019 20:58:34 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:35265 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1imOb3-0000zH-TQ for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Tue, 31 Dec 2019 15:58:34 -0500 Received: from zimbra.cs.ucla.edu ([131.179.128.68]:50874) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1imOb2-0000z4-UP for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Tue, 31 Dec 2019 15:58:33 -0500 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by zimbra.cs.ucla.edu (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8444916027C for ; Tue, 31 Dec 2019 12:58:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from zimbra.cs.ucla.edu ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (zimbra.cs.ucla.edu [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10032) with ESMTP id 7IW-GO8uexza for ; Tue, 31 Dec 2019 12:58:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by zimbra.cs.ucla.edu (Postfix) with ESMTP id EC5F616027E for ; Tue, 31 Dec 2019 12:58:26 -0800 (PST) X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at zimbra.cs.ucla.edu Received: from zimbra.cs.ucla.edu ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (zimbra.cs.ucla.edu [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10026) with ESMTP id nHZvh_bWB4YI for ; Tue, 31 Dec 2019 12:58:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from [192.168.1.9] (cpe-23-242-74-103.socal.res.rr.com [23.242.74.103]) by zimbra.cs.ucla.edu (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id CDB6F16027C for ; Tue, 31 Dec 2019 12:58:26 -0800 (PST) To: control@debbugs.gnu.org From: Paul Eggert Subject: 30451 is not a bug Organization: UCLA Computer Science Department Message-ID: Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2019 12:58:26 -0800 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/68.2.2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Language: en-US Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Spam-Score: -2.3 (--) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: control X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.18 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sender: "Debbugs-submit" X-Spam-Score: -3.3 (---) tags 30451 notabug close 30451
