I am following the best answer on Finding all files containing a text string in linux to search string in my project.

This is my command grep --include=*.rb -rnw . -e "pattern"

Zsh tells me that zsh: no matches found: --include=*.rb

It seems that grep doesn't support --include option.

When I type grep --help, it returns

usage: grep [-abcDEFGHhIiJLlmnOoPqRSsUVvwxZ] [-A num] [-B num] [-C[num]]
    [-e pattern] [-f file] [--binary-files=value] [--color=when]
    [--context[=num]] [--directories=action] [--label] [--line-buffered]
    [--null] [pattern] [file ...]

no --include here.

Is my grep version too old? Or is there something wrong with my command?
