ls -R works identically as grep -R ...Ok, I can live with that. For my understanding, what does the -R expand then? I had visualized that -R with grep was simular to ls -R. Where ls -R magically displays all files with out having to specify a search path. So I was thinking that grep -R magically searched all the files without having to specify a search path, and the *.vb* was the file designation.
-R means 'recurse any directories in the input set.'However, the conclusion I'm coming to is that the [FILE] of "Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE] ..." is really a directory _and_ file pattern.
