What does your grep do? I said: And if I run grep from the Cygwin command line (with either parenthetical regexp - single or double backslashes), it works OK. I only have the problem when I use `call-process'. By command line, I meant shell (bash from Cygwin). (I showed the regexp with double-quotes, but single-quotes work too.) Summary: grep works with that regexp when run from the shell or when using the Emacs `grep' command. The only problem is with `call-process'.
