				<description><![CDATA[ Hi Bala,

Maybe you should explain to window users that you want countryinfo.txt without comment lines. Isn't there a grep for windows, btw?

				<description><![CDATA[ Hi Fred,

  Thx for the reply. i dont think there is a grep option availabel in Windows. there are some programs i can use which stimulates the grep command but that setp is a bit complex.

Thank you,

				<description><![CDATA[ You don't need to execute that cat | grep on Windows. 

What the command does is go thru countryInfo.txt and copy each line into countryInfo-n.txt with the exception of lines which start with #. So it is just removing the comment lines. You can do this manually in a text editor.

If you want a break down of what is happening, cat is outputting the text file,
^# means 'where first character is #'
-v means 'do opposite'
grep is searching,
> countryInfo-n.txt means pipe the output into a file

So in affect, its listing the file, searching for lines not starting with # and outputting them into another text file.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Hi Bala,

I think that you should try something like this: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm

I can't test it since I no longer run Windows but it looks good to me.]]></description>
