Kevin Mortimer Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Hi I want to be able to access GREP functions via the cmd line. I have downloaded a zip file (grep251b.zip) that I got from Matts website at ISO filemaker magazine. You can also download the file from this other website here. http://short.stop.home.att.net/freesoft/txtutil1.htm#grep Anyway Matts instructions were to install in C:/Windows/System32. I have placed the contents of the zip file in this location but I still get an error in the cmd line that says grep could not be found. Am I missing something....any suggestions would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkWilson Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Kevin, I was unable to download the file, but yes any .exe in the C:WINDOWSsystem32 folder is acessable from the command line. Is the grep.exe in the "C:WINDOWSsystem32" folder? Can the program be run from that location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Mortimer Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 The exe files are in their own folder in the system32 folder. Do I need to take them out of their own folders and put them directly into the system32 folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkWilson Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Yes, place the .exe files in the System32 folder. It is the default Windows level program folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
