[GnuWin32-Users] recursive search using grep and find

[Weiyu Yi <in...@go...>]

Hi,

I have just installed gnuutils(find and grep) in my winxp(32) system.

when I try to find some files containing some certain string
recursively, something strange happens

i.e. grep -l 'something' -R *

then all the files under the current directory or futher under the
subdirectory of this current directory should be searched. but i got
some information like:

grep: Xxxxx/: No such file or directory
.....

It seems this grep hasn't searched the files under the subdirectory,
but search the directories themself

Thanks for your help
