Solved GREP for win 8

Coding Python Support
1

tried the 32 bits GREP soft and
I cannot see any text in grep window and search does not work

is there a 64 bits GREP working on win 8?

thanks

2

I use AstroGrep, it should run on Windows 8 (it’s .NET)

3

is it a little like using Grep
with pop up window and search only py files ?

thanks

You might give Cygwin a look. Cygwin is a full Linux Bash terminal on your Windows machine. It is a lot more than just grep so if that is all you need then Cygwin is overkill but I’ve found that if I need grep then I need all the other tools sooner or later.

AstroGrep seems to be almost like Grep and do the search on py files
and can activate it with right click button
so that’s is all I need to search py files for now

may be later on If I need more i’ll checkl the Cygwin

thanks

Definitely do what works for you. Getting Cygwin setup the first time can be a bit of a pain so it is really only worth it if you want all the tools.

Hi Ricky,

if you are using GIT to download your source, then a lot of the unix style commands like grep, ls, cp, gawk are installed with git.

did not really use that git thing

so for now I guess it is ok

thanks guys
