GREP-via-Cygwin-for-Windows.txt   c2013-2017 David R Woodsmall

I had previously asked about a good set of Windows Utilities (like a
Windows version of Grep/eGrep,...  [search withing files] ) 

I use cygwin. It is a bash shell environment that runs under Windows.

It has most of the standard Linux utilities available.
The setup program allows addition of almost all of the Linux universe.

I like the cygwin version. Cygwin also provides a comfortable variety
of shell environments such as bash, pdksh, and csh and makes most of
the UNIX/Linux tools easy to use on a Windows platform.

You can also get the portable version by clicking on the folder for the latest version and selecting the portable version. If you click the download link on the intial page, you get the install version. Here is the direct link to the portable version.

I was warned BY SOURCEFORGE to no longer consider their downloads as safe (virus free)
 - but then, your download should be scanned for any virus via a good Malware program,
and a I do like Sourceforge - this was several years ago (~2014?).

Cygwin's egrep just solved my problem:
