(Instead, they supply a `mount' command to map a virtual partition to a drive letter.) I am using another 32-bit grep which I got from the Virtunix site: ftp://ftp.itribe.net/pub/virtunix/gnugrep.zip This version *does* understand drive letters. Windows NT also supplies a program named `findstr' which behaves much like grep. I believe you can redefine the Emacs variable `grep-command' to use `findstr' instead of `grep'. > > I had lots of troubles with grep, too, until I added this to my > > .emacs: > > > (setq win32-quote-process-args t) > > > Wow!

The problem occurs when grep'ing for a string containing a space, but only when grep is piped filenames from stdin. I'm using cmd.exe on NT 4.0 but had the same problems with bash. I see the problem whether in emacs or not. In Emacs I see the same problem whether win32-quote-process-args is t or nil. This works: grep "defconst h" *.el This doesn't: find . -type f -name "*.el" -print | xargs grep "defconst h" NUL the error is: C:\HOWARD\elisp>find . -type f -name "*.el" -print | xargs grep "defconst h" NUL grep: h: No such file or directory ./NEW/mouse-extracs.el:(defconst mouse-throw-magnifier-with-scroll-bar ./NEW/mouse-extracs.el:(defconst mouse-throw-magnifier-with-mouse-movement ./NEW/mouse-extracs.el:(defconst mouse-throw-magnifier-min -6) and it continues with all occurances of "defconst" Anyone else see this?
