Since you are talking about grep, I figure that most people here are
familiar with it. So, what is the option to search in ASCII files only,
not lookin gin binary?
I know there is an option, i used to use it, but I can't remember what it
is. I have looked though all of the docs that FreeBSD has, including the
man pages, but I can't find it.
Is it not there and am I going crazy?
Thanks,
Mark Dickey
