Too bad Windows doesn't have a native grep.

You could pipe the dir to find. find is quite limited compared
with grep though.

Yes. I used to try all that.

The *one* UNIX command that works *perfectly* on Windows is *sort*!

For example, in vi (or vim), you can sort anything easily:
:!sort

Or from mark a to mark b:
:'a,'b!sort

Where the bang (!) means "run" so "!sort" means "run the sort command".

I repeat: The sort command is as *fantastic* on Windows as on Linux.
