Hi,

I have downloaded the 2.5.1a-1 of grep.exe and run this test:

grep -R --include=*.txt -P help *

It does not simply display/process the text file, it does not find the line in one of the text file in the sub-directory.

I have to use this:

grep -R -P help *

to pick up the line in the text file but of course the result is clouded with the binary files also containing the string.

I then downloaded the grep 2.5.1a and this one runs through the test flawlessly.

So obviously there is a bug in the binary between 2.5.1a and 2.5.1a-1.

Thanks.

    For me with grep 2.5.1, --include="*.txt" seems to have no effect. It searches all files anyway.

    c:> grep -R --include="no_such_file" -P Vec3f code

    ... finds tons of hits and none of them are in a file called 'no_such_file'

    c:>which grep
    C:/gnuwin32/bin/grep.EXE

    c:>grep --help
    Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE] ...
    Search for PATTERN in each FILE or standard input.
    Example: grep -i 'hello world' menu.h main.c
    . . .

    Nevermind. I see the broken --include is a bug that was fixed by 2.5.1a.
