Hello,
I have a strange problem with grep. When I try to search for a string in the files of a directory (~/programming/tmp) with the command
grep a *
it gives me the error:
grep: conflicting matchers specified
If I do (from my home directory or even from the directory itself!)
grep a ~/programming/tmp/*
then I have no problem. What is the meaning of the above error message? It does not matter what string I give, anything will produce the error.
