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.
