From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 9:47 AM I was having some trouble using grep to look for text in files.From some tests it looks like meta characters cause the problem to showitself :

To get more info regarding the use/setup of rxvt+bash: Use google.com on "site:cygwin.com rxvt" - I bet you'll find a lot of information.
C:\temp>grep text /temp/*.txt GREP: /temp/*.txt: No such file or directory
C:\temp>grep text c:/temp/*.txt c:/temp/test.txt:text
I have upgraded to latest release of Cygwin and this has not changed things. I have tried the above on a Windows 98 and Windows XP system as well - same results.
Any ideas how I get around this problem ?
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/
