How do you use grep and diff in Windows? I use it in Unix and it is great, but
how in Windows?
Thanks,

I favor diff, grep and gawk a great deal.
Gawk/awk for searching inside of a file, with very flexible and powerful
rules
Grep for simple searches and some regular expressions as well
And diff for comparing multiple files, creating patches, and so on
Take care,
Sina

Subject: File Comparison in Windows
Ok, I use Ultra Edit 32, and I am pissed that the file comparison utility is
pretty well hard to use by the visually impaired. You can not click inside
the comparison window and walk up and down the file with the keyboard
navigation. Looks like you have to find the scroll buttons and mouse click
on them.
I keep coming up on this subject of comparing files, but keep skirting the
issue by getting around the task by one way or another.
I have to bite the bullet and use one tool for the task.
I would like it to be free, easy to use by the blind, and a basic flat file
comparison (text comparison).
What do you use for windows?
Thanks.
Rodney
