One way to do that would be to use the "findstr" command, which is built-in (at least to NT 4.0, don't know about 95). You can either make grep use this directly: (setq grep-command "findstr /n /s ") or provide a wrapper function: (defun findstr () "Run a grep using the Windows findstr command." (interactive) (let ((grep-command "findstr /n /s ")) (call-interactively 'grep))) Peter From owner-ntemacs-users@trout Wed May 7 12:53:34 1997 X-VM-v5-Data: ([nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil] [nil "Wed" " 7" "May" "1997" "15:20:48" "-0400" "David Biesack" "sasdjb@unx.sas.com" nil "17" "> M-x grep (recursive?)"

You can either make grep > use this directly: One note of caution: findstr will downcase your filenames whereas find/grep will not (unless you have poor implementations of find/grep). This causes problems if you don't have win32-downcase-file-names set to t and you've already visited the file with mixed case file names.
