Does anyone know if there is a version of grep for vista x64?

Answer 1

Sure, it works fine with cygwin.

Answer 2

A quick search brings those questions/answers :

• What are good grep tool for Windows?
• Is there a Pattern Matching Utility like GREP in Windows?

And those will point you to tools like PowerGREP, the Findstr tool that's bundled with windows, or cygwin -- or others ^^

Answer 5

I'd suggest considering the option of stepping slightly sideways:

You can do the equivalent quite easily using powershell by pipelining a get-childitem into a select-string.

Powershell is an impressive tool for playing with windows systems.

Answer 6

In powershell:

findstr -s "keyword|regex" *.txt

This is just an example of one grep feature. There are other ways to do much more complex things as well.
