Windows does not have a robust set of tools natively like UNIX does. Rather than trying to rewrite Bill's script I'd recommend that you search the web and locate a set which includes things like grep and egrep. The are commercial sets available as well as freeware. Frankly, I don't know how a Windows admin gets along without them. We certainly could not develop code on the Windows platform without them.
