Now I think recurse is working on Windows with pcregrep after all:
>pcregrep -d recurse --include=".+\.txt" -i "test" testdata\*
testdata\testupld/ClipTest.txt:test
so it recursed into the testupld subdir and found ClipTest.txt. However
the one forward slash in the filename is backwards on Windows (or at
least they should all point the same way).
OTH it doesn't find that file if I use this:
>pcregrep -d recurse --include=".+\.txt" -i "test" .\*
or
>pcregrep -d recurse --include=".+\.txt" -i "test" *
concerning pcregrep crashing when built in Visual Studio, I found this
(author referring to 7.1):
"Add a call to |_set_printf_count_output(1)| at the beginning of |main|
in pcregrep.c; by default VC CRT does not support the format "%n" and
the program pcregrep.exe using such format would crash."
