httpd log errors

[Paul Mooring]

No problem at all, in this case it's pretty much 6 of one half dozen of the other.  I would guess the cases you're trying to remember are related to the `-type f` part of find, in a more complicated scenario find has way more power to selectively choose which files to search (which comes at a performance cost if these are really large projects).  Grep on the other hand will just naively search all files, including binary files which surprises some people, I just like to promote the full power of grep as it's underuse makes my neckbeard itch (please don't `cat my_file.txt|grep` just grep the file).

Oops, Paul I answered you too fast and without thinking (imagine that), so I
answered what 'I thought' you were saying instead of what you 'were saying'!

You are right, in this particular case it can (probably) be done as you say,
but in my experience, I have run into problems that I can't remember now
because I ditched the syntax in favor of 'find' to avoid them long time ago,
and because 'find' is more powerful and allows me more tricks (with other
pitfalls of its on) than grep alone.

I do however recognize that sometimes I am somehow guilty of
'over-complicating' things...   ;-)
