Apparently the command grep -i PATN *.* will scan files and indicate special
results for .EXE files,
and it will locate files of extension .BAT with the wildcard usage, but when I
subset the search
by using grep -i PATN *.BAT to look for patn in just batch text files, it finds
no matches.
By copying files (copy *.bat *.qqq) and making new copies, I can then use
grep -i PATN *.qqq and get the expected results.
It appears to treat the .BAT text file contents specially.
Is there a way around this ?
