Jun 9, 2019 at 22:01	comment	added	Freddy		The answer is here: What does “--” (double-dash) mean? (also known as “bare double dash”)
Jun 9, 2019 at 21:59	comment	added	user313992		@jsotola are you serious? to the op: use `grep -e -R ./-file1 file2`, where `-R` is a pattern starting with `-`, and `./-file1` is a filename starting with `-`.
Jun 9, 2019 at 21:58	comment	added	jsotola		i think that you wrote the answer in your question ... use `"-R"` , not `-R`
