I am basically in a bad postions I have to write a script for these
unix commands to work on a windows machine by tues. To me this will be
very difficult to do. Could I get the help of one of your experienced
bash scripters?

cat	join or display files
comm	compare sorted files
diff	display the differences between two files
grep	search for a pattern in files
head	display the beginning of a file
mv	move (rename) a file


here are the options that I have to give them:
cat	-b -n -s
comm	-1 -2 -3
diff	-c[n] -e
grep	-c -i -l -n -v
head	[-number] [file-list] 
mv	-f -i -

I actually meant to post this as a perl question. Sorry

Hello dubbs123-ga,

  I have written a Perl script for each
  bash function and tested them all on
  my Windows box.  A ZIP file containing
  all of the functions is here:

http://nms.lcs.mit.edu/~gch/google/bash.zip

  Let me know how they work for you.

  Good luck.

Oh no!  I'm very sorry for the broken
  link.  I accidentally placed the files
  in googlebash.zip.  The files are now in

http://nms.lcs.mit.edu/~gch/google/bash.zip

  and I have checked (and double checked)
  the link to make sure it works.

  Again, I'm very sorry for the broken link
  and for the delay in getting back to you.
