why grep only allows me to search whole words I'm trying to grep some code for any code that matches 'enforce' and the following works and shows results: grep --include=\*.rb -rnw . -e enforce yet the following gives no results: grep --include=\*.rb -rnw . -e enforc How do I grep for anything that contains 'enforc'?

Remove `w` from the options:


grep --include=\*.rb -rn . -e enforc


> **-w, --word-regexp**
> Select only those lines containing matches that form whole words. The test is that the matching substring must either be at the beginning of the line, or preceded by a non-word constituent character. Similarly, it must be either at the end of the line or followed by a non-word constituent character. Word-constituent characters are letters, digits, and the underscore.
