I'm trying to run the following command in windows. I've managed to install cURL, but Grep still fails to identify as a command.
curl -k --silent 'http://192.168.1.135:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getDevState&usr=USERNAME&pwd=PASSWORD' | grep -oP '(?<=motionDetectAlarm>).*?(?=</motionDetectAlarm>)'
Is there an alternative command or a way to install Grep onto Windows?
UpdateI've installed Grep and added the following to my Path variables, both system and user, and restarted to no avail.
C:Program Files (x86)GnuWin32

I've installed Grep and added the following to my Path variables, both system and user, and restarted to no avail.
A couple things to remember:
- As @barlop comments, the path should be e.g.
C:Program Files (x86)GnuWin32bin
. - It is perfectly fine to specify the whole path to
grep
e.g.:curl -k --silent 'http://192.168.1.135:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getDevState&usr=USERNAME&pwd=PASSWORD' | 'C:Program Files (x86)GnuWin32bingrep.exe' -oP '(?<=motionDetectAlarm>).*?(?=</motionDetectAlarm>)'
