In emacs 22 on windows should grep work? I am typing m-x grep which opens a line in the mini buffer that says Run grep (like this): grep -n and a message saying: Grep started at Tue Jan 23 21:19:22 I then add, as shown in the grepmode wiki the following to the mini buffer -e setq ~/.emacsgiving me a full line in the minibuffer ofRun grep (like this): grep -n -e setq ~/.emacs hit return and get a message that says 'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong.
As someone else has pointed out "grep" is not a native command on MS Windows. To make it easier to setup Emacs on MS Windows I have therefor added grep and some other unix style programs to EmacsW32, see
