Re: grep

[Jérôme Arfouche]

hi

thanks for replying so fast

my grep version is "grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1"

and i have this problem when i try to do this:
grep -c -d skip "\#\!" | grep :0 | wc -l
basically it's supposed to look for FILES (skip dir) that don't have the
shebang line and count them, that's it
for some reason it keeps counting my directories with it
