grep tail touch and more... (Non-GBS - Windows Only)

How any programmer can survive without 'grep' is beyond my understanding...
Gratefully copied from Karl M. Syring 's UnxUtils (now OpenSource) and (partly) delivered as part of GBS.
Please read the Standard Disclaimer.
Some extra help can be found UnxUtils Home Page. Note that not all commands are distributed with GBS. Feel free to request additions.

The executables are located in '%GBS_SCRIPTS_PATH%/win2utils'.
You may consider adding the win32utils directory in your PATH.
In switch.gbs.bat add:


	IF "%WIN32UTILS_IN_PATH%"=="" THEN PATH=%GBS_SCRIPTS_PATH%\win2util;%PATH%

	SET WIN32UTILS_IN_PATH=1

Syntax and Help:

On Command Line the following commands are predefined (DosKey):

grep --help egrep --help agrep --help tail --help touch --help which --help

In GBS 'make' or via '%GBS_SCRIPTS_PATH%/win2utils' you can use:

cp --help find --help gawk --help make --help rm --help sed --help tar --help
