I'm searching for files that contain tab characters (ASCII 0x09, Ctrl-I -- so
that I can eradicate them with expand(1)! ) but I can't use interactive bash
to grep(1) for them because it won't let me type a tab! I found a roundabout
way by avoiding the use of interactive bash but I'm interested in how others
might solve this conundrum.

Michael Erskine.
