As who says? I swear, that lamerzpeak looks like your keyboard is
missing keys. You should really get that fixed. =)

In any case, that's true as long as the grep is available and the
shell+grep combination work together. (DOS wildcard expansion is left as
an exercise to the program and is not performed in the shell, as the
unix shells do.)

The ruby code will work in a bare Win32 + Ruby environment. Win32
doesn't come standard with grep... or even a decent shell language. ;)

You of course knew that.
