The only withdraw is tool lack of documentation and only working on Windows CMD. I did try with powershell and git-windows, seem it does’t work properly. So, you must use it via CMD only.

Do you like reading blog or website for information, review, tweak and update? Then how you do it? Let me guess, you use web browser, type the url or click the bookmark and enjoy the articles?

I also like to read like you do but I don’t like randomly visit the web url, save a lot of bookmark and open so many tabs on my browser, as alternative I use aggregator to collect and notify me if the web url have new article published on they website.

If you are linux enthusiast users then you know how to “grep” and how useful this tools.

Sadly, there is no built - in tool on Windows that can beat “grep”. So I looking for third party software and found this tool called as “GrepWin”.

It licensed under “GPL-3.0 License”. Oh, please take note it only can be use if you are using Windows 7 SP1 and above, It won’t work on Windows XP or Vista!

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone,

I plan to create some blog post section called Use This. Yeah, I gonna post about what software, tools, script that I use. It just my own personal preferences of choices and I just recommend what I am use.

Maybe this kind of blog post will be useful and I also can jot down my settings and tweaks for everyone and my future references.

It will be cross platform, so Windows and Linux will be listed together. No worries. I will covers opensource, free and commercial software. Each post will hold only just one tools. Not just like regular “use this” interview that put all they favourite into one posts.
