Grep question
sometimes I'll do a search with grep and it just goes down a line and hangs. What is it doing?

Can you post an example of how you are using it.
Thanks. |

It could be performing the search just like you told it to, but the search is taking a while, so it looks like it's hanging up.
How many files are in the directory you're searching? When I search a directory with a thousand files, it takes about 25 seconds. More files will take even longer. It depends what you're searching for and what you're doing with the data when it's found. |
