Hi,
GNU xargs version 4.2.25
or more likely am I misusing xargs?
$ ls *.cfm */*.cfm */*/*.cfm */*/*/*.cfm | xargs grep -i host
bash: /usr/bin/ls: Argument list too long
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nothing to do with xargs. Use find instead of ls/w wildcards.
yes, you should rather write
$ find . -name "*.cfm" -print0 | xargs -0 grep -i host
