Comment 17 for bug 1005644

Hi all,

Yeah, the easy way out of this bug is to use the extension filter ".fp"
and ask the users to consistently use this extension on all their footprint
files.

OTOH, one could follow "the road of most resistance" and (re)use code from:

http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/tpop/grep.c

and make it "--silent" and just return true or false on any given file in a directory.

Just the first hit on Google.

Maybe there is better code out on the net, there is lots of applications doing this thing.

Just my EUR 0.02.

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
