At the MS-Windows command line, the caret (^) has a special meaning; see http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/cmd.mspx?mfr=true. Thus, you should double-quote an argument containing a caret or double the caret in order to have grep, or any other command-line program, see one caret. This is easily seen when you compare the commands echo ^x echo "^x" echo ^^x So this is a case where the MS-Windows command line behaves differently from a Unix shell.
