I'm trying to create a cli command to have TFS check out all files that have a particular string in them. I primarily use cygwin but the tf command has trouble resolving the path when run within the cygwin environment. I figure powershell should be able to do the same thing, but I'm not sure what the equivalent commands to grep and xar...

I have ...

I was going to do this with find and then do a grep to print the nonASCII characters, and then do a wc -l t...

M-x grep, M-x lgrep, M-x rgrep don't work in EmacsW32 for me. I do M-x lgrep and it says grep is not a command: grep -i -n "hello" * NUL 'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Grep finished with no matches found at Sun Jan 31 05:59:06 Also what is that NUL thing? EmacsW32 homepag...
