Is there a Pattern Matching Utility like GREP in Windows?

Question

Is there a similar utility to grep available from the Windows Command Prompt, or is there a third party tool for it?

Answer 1

If you have to use bare Windows, then in addition to the Powershell option noted above, you can use VBScript, which has decent RegEx support.

MS also has a decent scripting area on Technet with a ton of examples for administrators.
