[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Geany on Windows includes a grep.exe that cannot handle some unicode in filename (#1260)

[cshu]

I use Shift+Ctrl+F to do `Find in Files`. It failed when there are filenames with some unicode characters.

I tried the `grep.exe` directly:
```
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Geany\bin\grep.exe" -nHIirF ring *
grep: New folder/zhon??.txt: Invalid argument
```
The `??` are some unicode characters.

I tried another `grep.exe` shipped with Git on Windows:
`"C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\grep.exe" -nHIirF ring *`
This one works fine!

I guess Geany can simply use another version of `grep.exe`. (Maybe use the same version Git is using.)
So `Find in Files` can work flawlessly on Windows?
