Hi,
I had problem with `egrep` in the past, I will explain my problem, maybe it
will be the same as you, not sure.
I wanted to compile something (erlang rebar3 tool). The script was using a
native Windows program for the compilation and was complaining that `egrep`
could not be found in the `$PATH`. The problem is that `egrep` is a bash
script wrapping the normal `grep` command which is an executable.
When a native Windows program tries to find a program to run, it checks
mainly for `.exe` and `.bat` files. Since `egrep` was not one of the two,
the compilation failed each time. Running the same thing under a msys2
aware program is not failing because search rules are different. That's why
running `egrep` from terminal works. If you use `cmd` directly (and if you
have a correct $PATH environment), running `egrep` in the console will fail
with the same message as in your error.
