Newby Question FC4

[Nix, Robert P.]

Actually, his code does create an executable, which does not contain a list of files. Look closely at the command line, and you'll see that it takes the string "grep $1 ..." and writes that string to /usr/local/bin/ww.

This takes the list of files and directories from above and searches for
the first command line argument ($1) in that list and stores what it
finds in /usr/local/bin/ww
