FWIW, $ find -name "*.c" | xargs grep "any later version" | wc -l 3138 $ find -name "*.c" | wc -l 9482 Watching the output of the first grep without "wc -l" shows that, although it is not 100% accurate, it is still ok just to get a rough estimate. So yes, ~6300 files are definitely more than a couple ;) -- Paulo Marques - www.grupopie.com "God is love. Love is blind. Ray Charles is blind.
