Subject: Qualifier suggestion.
Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 12:38:13 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19990517123813.A20808@lyric.cig.mot.com> (raw)
SUGGESTION
Adding a new filename qualifier that limits filename generation to
only ASCII files.
WHY
I want to grep through a bunch of files for a string. The problem is
that grep will look in binaries and spew a bunch of garbage to my
terminal. Now, one COULD use the executable qualifier and negate it,
but this wouildn't work in some cases. I think a qualifier would be
more suitable. (Not to mention helpful!)
