Maybe. So now I have several propositions: - g by R Cox - sth similar to g by E Quanstrom - grep -r by R Minnich (actually, this really exists in linux, I didn't know...) - search the archives for mails subjected as : breadth first walking, du and find, from December 2009, by maht - get sth like xargs somewhere, e.g. by J Catena Can anybody comment on these and their differences? I don't know 'g' yet. I'll look at it shortly. Anyway, it seems to me that something like xargs could be of quite general use, so probably also be a better solution than anything like 'grep -r' (adding switches to individual commands to do some job recursively).

why not just use a russ' g from p9p?
Ok. Maybe. So now I have several propositions:

- g by R Cox- sth similar to g by E Quanstrom
- grep -r by R Minnich (actually, thi= s really exists in linux, I didn't know...)
- search the archives fo= r mails subjected as : breadth first walking, du and find, from December 20= 09, by maht
- get sth like xargs somewhere, e.g. by J Catena

Can anybody comment= on these and their differences?
I don't know 'g' yet. I= 9;ll look at it shortly. Anyway, it seems to me that something like xargs c= ould be of quite general use, so probably also be a better solution than an= ything like 'grep -r' (adding switches to individual commands to do= some job recursively).

Thanks
