help with find2perl

All,
The following does not work for me.

find2perl . -name \*.\* | xargs fgrep -i 'begin'

any pointers?

Thanks,
Sunil.

No. It's your turn first to give us pointers.

What did you expect it to do.
What does it do instead.
Where there any error messages?

It's not like you're not posting here for the first time, is it.

find . -name \*.\* | xargs fgrep -i 'begin'
was working for me.

find2perl even with the necessary escape characters
find2perl . \-name \*.\* | xargs fgrep \-i \'begin\'
seems to somehow execute fgrep.

It looks like | is not being recognized....

Thanks,
Sunil.

No, you must pipe the output of find2perl into perl first. Read the
documatation. From "perldoc find2perl"

SYNOPSIS
find2perl [paths] [predicates] | perl

You can pipe *that* output into xargs.
