This is a new build for Windows, based on the March 2017 ag sources.

  • Supports and displays all Unicode pathnames in any code page. (Provided that the console fonts support them.)
  • Can search for Unicode strings and regular expressions.
  • Supports pathnames > 260 characters, up to at least 4KB.
  • Supports symbolic links and junctions.

The zip file contains 32 and 64-bits ag.exe versions.

Known limitation: The regular expressions engine will refuse to search in files with non-ASCII characters encoded in code pages other than UTF-8. For example, "Fran.ois" will match "François" in a UTF-8 file, but NOT in an ANSI file encoded in code page 1252. Worse still, if an ANSI file contains non-ASCII characters, like '©', then you can't even search for ASCII regular expressions. Only for fixed ASCII strings.
