Slightly OT: I did a google search some time ago and found a grep command line util for windows... A quick google today produced this link: http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/grep.html
Personally, since switching to linux at home, I find myself trying to use all manner of unix commands on my windows box... Even had to make an ls batch file :) I simply couldn't live without grep now...
