Unix utilities for windows
The grep command searches one or more input files for lines containing a match to a specified pattern. By default, grep prints the matching lines.
Of course, if you're here then you're probably looking for something as simple as grep for windows then you've found what you need.
Options
There are plenty of times when using a beloved unix/linux/gnu tool on a windows platform is just the right thing to do. When this happens I figure you have a few options :
- GNU utilities for Win32 - http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ - these are some perfectly good builds of tools/utilities such as ls/grep/sed/gzip/find that are statically linked, so there is no need for extra dll's or installation.
- When you need more than just some tools then something like Cygwin may be more appropriate http://www.cygwin.com/ . This will provide a build environment so you can build your own stuff on windows.
- Finally, when you need the job finished, need support for lots of obscure unix API's or need supported versions of Unix utilities then MKS toolkit is what you're after http://www.scl.com/products/mks
