grep in UnxUtils on Windows XP
Not sure where else to turn for help on this one (as the UnxUtils forum is pretty quiet...)
I'm using UnxUtils on a Windows XP workstation and am struggling with the syntax for grep (FWIW "grep --version" returns 2.5.1). I'm trying to parse the output from a local printer's status page, and am failing to get lookahead working when piping the value from wget into grep. This works fine and returns lots of matches: wget -q -O- "http://10.0.0.99/status" | grep -E Helvetica However this returns nothing wget -q -O- "http://10.0.0.99/status" | grep -E Helv(?=etica) Do lookaheads normally work with grep on the commandline? I'm not sure if the '-E' is correct either (but have tried -e and -G with no more success). Is there something I'm missing... ? Thanks! |
why don't you get grep from GNU ?
