GREP for Windows - A very flexible grep for windows

I made a few bug fixes to Tim Charron's "GREP for Windows". These bugs were related to the subdirectory searching option (-S).

This is what Tim Charron's "Grep for Windows" webpage has to say about Grep:

GREP is a well known tool in the unix environment. There are several ports available that I came across for Windows. However, NONE of them allowed me to search through subdirectories (this functionality is easy on unix using the shell's file manipulation tools). I modified GNU grep 2.0 to allow searching of subdirectories.

To search subdirectories, do something like this:

grep -S "searchtext" *.txt
grep -S "searchtext" \personal\files\*.txt
grep -S searchtext C:\*.*
