But at first this poor user has to install cygwin and use a cygwin shell and a cygwin grep. Not the NT cmd.exe and some strange non-cygwin grep, as he did. (as Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes already posted) Non of these grep versions he did actually use: - grep and sgrep, Win32 port by Tim Charron (http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/grep.html) - borland's turbo grep.com (v2.9) - Win32 port by Marc Geist (as grep32.exe) - agrep and agrepw32 (from GLIMPSE) (http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/4889/agrep.html) Wonder how much other win32 grep's are floating there around. -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
