Hey guys I'm trying to change the default grep call to avoid unnecessary plugin installation. What I want from vim is to call the external search using the builtin command :grep with custom arguments, this is what I've tried putting in my rc:

set wildignore=*.o,*.obj,*~,*.pyc,.git/**,tags,cscope* let &grepprg='grep -n -R --exclude=' . &wildignore . ' $*' 

usage:

:set verbose grepprg verbose=0 grepprg=grep -n -R --exclude=*.o,*.obj,*~,*.pyc,.git/**,tags,cscope* $* :lgrep "_cast" ./src/* 

output:

:!grep -n -R --exclude=*.o,*.obj,*~,*.pyc,.git/**,tags,cscope* "_cast" ./src/* 2>&1| tee /tmp/nvimzj3oo1/225 zsh:1: no matches found: --exclude=*.o,*.obj,*~,*.pyc,.git/**,tags,cscope* 

if I execute what vim tried:

$ grep -n -R --exclude=*.o,*.obj,*~,*.pyc,.git/**,tags,cscope* "_cast" ./src/* 2>&1| tee /tmp/nvimzj3oo1/225 ./src/daemon/lim_l3_server_mw.cc:160: LimL3Server *self = static_cast<LimL3Server *>(st); 

so, I'm falling to see the problem, any ideas?
