Many of my Gnu utilities can handle NTFS alternate data streams with no fuss.  GREP.EXE cannot.

 

v:\> g:\gnu\wc -l timecheck.btm:servers.txt

19 timecheck.btm:servers.txt

 

v:\> g:\gnu\head -n 2 timecheck.btm:servers.txt

time-b-g.nist.gov               129.6.15.29     NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland

 

v:\> g:\gnu\tail -n 2 timecheck.btm:servers.txt

#tock.usnogps.navy.mil  204.34.198.41   Colorado Springs, Colorado

 

v:\> g:\gnu\grep Colorado timecheck.btm:servers.txt

g:\gnu\grep: timecheck.btm:servers.txt: No such file or directory

 

v:\> g:\gnu\grep --version
