Gary thank you for very detail follow up on this. It helped me to see some of the issues.
You are right that I have set up the grepprg in my rc "set grepprg=grep\ -niH" ->Cmd.exe grep -i random %INCLUDES%/* --works-- -> Gvim(win32) :grep -i random \%INCLUDES\%/* --works-- This way I am also able to use the Vim defined variables as env variables. For example let $INCLUDES1=c:\somedevfolder :grep -i random \%INCLUDES1\%/* --works-- I set my shell to "c:\cygwin\bin\bash" in Gvim :grep -i random $INCLUDES/* --works(because uses Cygwin grep) but then I cannot open the files in the quick fix because they are all in Cygwin Unix paths-- Thanks again for all the help. This is going to be super helpful to me. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
