Thanks very much.

Subject: Re: How to fail on a find with grep using make?
From: "Gary Turner" <[email protected]>

I'm using grep to compile files created by a gui editor. Occasionally a
'bad
thing' gets into the files, and I'd like the compile to fail if that 'bad
thing' is found in the file. By default grep 'fails' on not found, which
would normally stop make.
What I want is something like error if not grep 'bad thing' $<
I'm using cmd.exe.
Does the following work for you? It should work on W2K and later,
AFAIK.
foo: bar
cmd /c "grep BADTHING $< & if not ERRORLEVEL 1 exit 1"
