RE: httpd log errors

Or maybe it's the 'spaces in filename' issue, which is why he did it
with the 'exec' thing instead of the 'print' thing, I'm guessing.

FWIW, my 'standard template' for find is something like:

>> find /home/some_v_host/public_html/ -type f -print0|xargs -0 grep -H
'img' | less

Note the '-print0' and '-0' args. One tells find to use 'null' as the
filename terminator (rather than newline), and the other tells xargs to
use that same null to delimit filenames, rather than 'whitespace'.

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... ;-)
