Thomas,
I didn't use beta 3, so I don't know if its the same, but there is now the select-string cmdlet (as of PowerShell RC1)
If it is the same, you'd probably already know about it (since you're blog has quite a bit of info on msh(PowerShell)

However, for others passing through, I thought I'd post this example:


> set-content test.txt "Hello World"
> dir *.txt|select-string ^H.*d$
test.txt:1:Hello World

Sadly, it would appear that grep-string is not a part of MSH Beta 3:


[C:]: dir | grep-string
'grep-string' is not recognized as a Cmdlet, function, operable program, or script file.
At line:1 char:17
+ dir | grep-string <<<<
[C:]:

I regularly (heh) use dir/s/b | findstr /f:/ /r "^my.*reg[a-z][^0-9]expr>" in the Windows cmd shell
