[Veritas-bu] A Better Way?

If you are required to stay with microsoft features on the windows server, they 
have a free unix add on which would include grep. 
And it appears that with windows 2003 R2 they have done a fair bit of  
enhancement work. I have not tried the R2 support. With the base feature it 
does not appear as easy to use as cygwin but it does work.

Have you tried installing Cygwin? http://www.cygwin.com/ You'll find most of 
your favorite 'NIX utilities there, including sed/awk. For the PERL hacker, 
there's also Active State PERL for Windows.

        I've been working on rewriting some scripts that I received from a list 
member.  Originally, they were written for Unix, and I'm running Windows.  What 
I'm up against is this: I need to check the drives to see if they are holding 
the tapes I want to export.  Here's what was used:
        vmoprcmd -d ds -h master_server
         
        However, the output is less than useable on a Windows box without 
installing extra stuff.  Here's the sample:
         

                                          DRIVE STATUS
        Drv Type   Control  User      Label  RecMID  ExtMID  Ready   Wr.Enbl.  
ReqId
          0 hcart3   TLD                  Yes    LT0007  LT0007   Yes     Yes   
     0
          2 hcart3   TLD                  Yes    LT0007  LT0007   Yes     Yes   
     0
          1 hcart3   TLD                  Yes    000108  000108   Yes     Yes   
     0
          1 hcart3   TLD                  Yes    000108  000108   Yes     Yes   
     0
         
         
        Is there an easier way to grab this information?  And by easier, I mean 
something that VBScript could use?  Without awk here, I'm dead.  And before you 
mention it, I know there's a windows port of awk.  I'm trying to do this as 
self contained as possible.
         
        Thanks,
        Jason
