how to grep and ignore binary files?

Ok this one should be super easy.

I have cygwin installed on my vista machine. I want to use grep to recursively find a string in a directory, but its also looking through binary files, which I don't want.

According to the man page, "-I" is supposed to ignore binaries, but it looks like its still showing binary results.
 
oh wait never mind, the "-I" did work, i was just too tired and didn't realize it lol

close thread pls
