I have a binary file with the string 'SEGMENT4' inside:
$ strings AR/reports/BMCD_AGED_AR_CUST.rdf | grep -i segment4
(CC.SEGMENT1 || '\n' || SEGMENT2 || '\n' || SEGMENT3 || '\n' || SEGMENT4 ...
grep sees it:
$ grep -li segment4 AR/reports/BMCD_AGED_AR_CUST.rdf | wc -l
1
git grep does not:
$ git grep -a -li segment4 AR/reports/BMCD_AGED_AR_CUST.rdf | wc -l
0
What am I missing?
Here is my environment info:
$ uname -a
MINGW32_NT-5.1 B8058 1.0.12(0.46/3/2) 2010-02-05 01:08 i686 unknown
$ git --version
git version 1.7.0.2.msysgit.0
Thank you,
Phil Lawrence
