    Grep is originally a unix tool, it finds text as regular expressions in the input text.

    Gnu core-utils contain a bunch of Unix style small programs, including grep:

    There are also Windows pre-compiled versions here:
    http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html

    Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!

    I use gnu grep for windows for everyday tasks and PowerGrep when building large or complex expressions to add to my code.
