When I unzipped the file, grep was not marked executable. "chmod +x grep"
fixed that. Trying to get this to work inside the editor, I was concerned
about name clash with the system grep, so I renamed the TSE binary grep.exe.
I then tried executing the grep.s macro. I got the prompt and filled it in,
but when I ran it, I got no response.

Fortunately, the now very old grep macro authored by Chris Antos still works!

Ubuntu MATE 25.04

grep command line for Linux unzipped out of the box works OK here in Linux WSL (Ubuntu)

Renamed it to greplinux.

On Linux non-WSL (Ubuntu) command line TSE grep works OK.

Renamed to greplinux first.

As indicated one should currently make greplinux executable

first using 

chmod +x greplinux

Same here with -s, does not go beyond the current directory.

I don't see how it could have possibly worked out of the box, as it isn't marked as executable.

Nevertheless, after chmod to make it executable, the supplied grep worked from the command line.  But it is not working from the grep.s macro inside the editor.  I renamed it grep.exe as that is what the macro is looking for.  Of course, we can always change the macro to look for a different name.

Actually it does work out of the box in Linux WSL

(unzipped the original 'grep' from the .zip file and did run it with ./grep and that worked out of the box)

Note: Linux WSL is not Linux not-WSL thus, 

as indicated we should have a LINUXWSL and LINUXNONWSL directive thus

as many significant differences between the 2 environments,

in order to be able to automate out of the box.

#IFDEF LINUXWSL 

#IFDEF LINUXNONWSL

I looked into it.

It is of course a very optimistic approach to believe that a grep.s program that is explicitly designed for TSE for Microsoft Windows will suddenly start

working in Linux.

For example in grep.s a file called 'tee32.exe' is looked for, but in TSE for Linux that file does not exist at all.

And so on...

That Chris Antos' grep works by only one change (=e.g. only a filename change from grep.exe to grep) is quite remarkable. 

Chris Antos' TSE programs are usually very complex and require a lot of special internal and internal knowledge configuration to get those programs working.

I looked into his grep3230, it has e.g. DLLs (see screenshot), how on earth is that going to run on Linux non-WSL? 

There on Linux non-WSL one uses .so file or something similar instead of DLLs.

Maybe on Linux WSL you could get it running because that supports Microsoft Windows DLLs.

Or exactly which Antos grep program was used to get it working? 

If possible upload or send a URL where to download that Chris Antos' grep to check and test.

Thanks 

[Guy Rouillier]

Yes, I will work on uploading my modified version of Chris's grep that works under both Windows and Linux.
