I like to search a file for a pattern matching string. I am familiar with grep in unix. I looked at wingrep but not able to use it on the command line. Is there a command line grep available for windows?

As a UNIX/Linux programmer that has to work on Windows more often now, I just downloaded cygwin (www.cygwin.com).
"Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows". When you start it, you get a Linux like terminal that accesses your Windows directory system but also has Linux tools available.
I don't remember how it works, but part of downloading/updating works with a tool that makes it easy to control what you get and don't get. So you can download as little or as much of the Linux tools as you want.
