Subject: encapulating a find function in a script
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2004 16:19:02 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bu4met$1la$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)
I'm having a problem with a simple script I'm trying to develop.
Its name is fgrep and its text is:
#!/bin/bash
find $1 -name $2 -exec grep -H $3 '{}' ';'
I want to use it like "dgrep 'directory' 'file pattern' 'match text'.
It doesn't match anything because of the $2 parameter. If I replace
"$2" with "*.cpp", it works.
Can anybody tell me what is wrong and how to fix it?
