(jjhorner)Recursively grep through directory trees.

Well, I made the mistake of voting you ++ before I noticed that you didn't use either 'warnings' or 'strict'.

ALWAYS USE THESE PRAGMAS!!

Other than that, pretty good code.

An ancolyte "gets" it. by Melvin (Beadle) on Jul 12, 2000 at 18:06 UTC
FWIW: Here is a short discussion that showed me the light. Melvin strict bugs me though. especially for short hacks like that one. jcwren No no no. strict and -w are your friends. They keep you from chasing down stupid bugs (even in short code) written at 2am in the morning... redmist or 5:00am without sleep jcwren And, it ceases to be a 'short hack' when you post it. Now, it'll be around for eternity. So, not only should you appease the gods with use strict and -w, but you should make sure your name is plastered in there. davorg agrees whole-heartedly with jcwren jjhorner Melvin you never know when you may want to bundle all of your short hacks into a library of useful tools. As a matter of fact, I recommend starting that now! Melvin thanks for the suggestions, the code has now been strictified and warnified. =)	[reply]
