It covers pretty much all of grep's functionalities. As you know I was porting scripts from shell -> Windows and the first versions where all BATs ;-) Ok, the scripts aren't that advanced, but they do all the standard stuff, and I couldn't find anything in the shells that couldn't be done in the Windows shell in a similar approach. But hey, I like cygwin anyway :-) If you need “grep”, you should have used “findstr”. It covers pretty much all of grep’s functionalities.
