If I run findstr from a cmd prompt, I can see that if you give it no parameters, then it says bad command.. And if you give it a pattern and no file or stdin, then it tries to take from stdin
C:\>"c:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim74\vim" C:\> C:\> C:\>findstr FINDSTR: Bad command line C:\>findstr there dsfsdf dsfds C:\> When in VIM, e.g. I open a cmd prompt and run C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim74>vim.exe I write some text dfdsfdsfsdfsdfsdfsds__there_dfsdfdsfdsfdsfsd and do :grep there then it exits back to the cmd prompt and tries to read stdin until I Ctrl-C http://i.imgur.com/ES5yHea.png Why can't it read what is in VIM? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
