Bill gets all the credit. The toolset he has suggested to the list (and
what I use) is at:
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
Per his suggestions, I renamed the sort command there to usort.exe to
preserve the existing W32 sort.exe command, and I keep the folder I put
those tools in in my Path.
If you want to search the archives at:

You'll find some nifty posts by him on sample usage of grep and gawk.

Bill and Andrew,
I did not think to use egrep, fgrep since I did not know about them.
Seems to me I remember grep as a unix tool from way back in the hazy
days of yesteryear. I assume it has been ported to the Windows platform.
Want to offer up a clue to where I will find this new "friend" or do I
have to go searching?
I will post my grep command after I get it to work (after I get it to
work).
Thanx
