Subject: using grep with INCLUDE_FILTER - msg#00080

I just read the trouble shooting page, so I try to follow that format:
I am running Doxygen 1.2.17 on a Windows 2000 machine with cygwin installed.
I am using the windows binaries. I apologize in advance for not trimming
down the code as much as I could.

I emailed a previous report about /// comments, and I attempted to use grep
to get rid of all lines that start with comments. In doing this, I found
two problems. I do not know if either is a bug.
This is the input filter string I entered into doxywizard:

grep "^[^/]"

with the understanding that the file name would be appended to the line. I
ran this command on a few of the files to make sure I'd constructed the
regex right. It produced the results I expected and output them to the
monitor. I noticed that when I ran grep in windows it put the file and
pathname out on the first line, but it did not when I ran it in a bash
shell.

1) grep did not like filenames with spaces in it. Big deal; I just changed
all paths in the doxygen template to be relative. However, it still fed
absolute paths to grep. As a workaround, I copied the directories to a
different location (out of the accursed Program Files), but this cannot be a
permanent solution.

2) After I did this, grep stopped whining, but the output going to doxygen
seemed to be almost all the lines I did not want going to doxygen. It was
as though my regex had been mutilated to include only lines that had
comments in them, e.g. this source file:

Something seems to have happened to the regular expression... Or does the
problem rest between the keyboard and the chair.
