Confirming. Probably a dup of other console related bugs. Wine doesn't redirect
stdout/stderr well.

absolutely not!!!! it's not a console bug

using "/bin/grep -v" just works fine here and gets a nice output:
Z:\home\eric\work\output-wine\wine64>Usage: /bin/grep [OPTION]... MOTIF
[FICHIER]...
Pour en savoir davantage, faites: « /bin/grep --help ».

It's a bug in cmd parsing which gets confused by a command

In order to test, commenting out
    if (!(*param1) && !(*param2))
      return;
in programs/cmd/wcmdmain.c, WCMD_run_program() makes things work as expected

But I'd rather think WCMD_parse_cmd is to blame (and confuses /bin/grep as both
the program name and the first option)

hence changing component in bugzilla

Actually I did not intend to run grep from cmd.exe, but from windows app that
captures standard error. For example calling linux ant from windows editor
EditPad Pro (as a configurable tool). There "/bin/grep -v" doesn't work. I'll
have to find a simpler environment to show this.

By this time I see that running from cmd.exe
/bin/grep -v 2>test.txt
makes the output go to the screen instead of the file.
/bin/grep -v >test1.txt 2>test.txt - exactly the same, output to screen

Should it be reported as another bug?

to be complete on this, there are actually two bugs:
- the first I described in #4
- the second one which corresponds to use case in #5.
This one is another wrong assumption in cmd.exe. Cmd only uses the msvcrt
inheritance mechanism for file redirection, which is correct for any program
linked to msvcrt (and doing its I/O with msvcrt), but is wrong in the other
cases (like using /bin/grep).
Currently CreateProcess correctly manages inheritance though handles for a Unix
exec (as a child), but it doesn't for msvcrt inheritance mechanism. However, as
from CreateProcess point of the reserved fields in STARTUPINFO have to be
considered as a black box (it's actually used by some programs to pass
information from parent to child), I'd rather think cmd should take care of
this very problem.

I think this bug is unrelated to cmd, it seems to be a bug in fork_and_exec
function, there is code to set stdin and stdout but for stderr there is none.

/bin/grep -v
runs ok. I see the output and can redirect it with 2>file.txt

But
/bin/grep
still gives no output. As Eric pointed (#4) it's a different bug. Will we file
it separately?

Checked on today's git. Do you get the same? If not I could try getting
absolutely new git repository.

I can see also the output. But I have to hit ENTER to get the DOS-Prompt back.
Is this ok?

or issue in#9 (and in  reply to #10), likely a similar case of bug #28192 
(even it does apply here to a different kind of executable)
for the remaining part of #9   (/bin/grep without parameter) it's a bug in cmd,
I'll  send a patch shortly
however, please not that this behavior will only work with bare consoles (eg
wine cmd...) but won't work with wineconsole (as we don't know yet to redirect
a unix pipe to wineconsole). That should be a separate bug report

With wine-1.7.7-199-g608b1e1:
austin@aw25 ~ $ wine cmd
Z:\home\austin>/bin/grep
Can't recognize '/bin/grep' as an internal or external command, or batch
script.

This is a regression, with wine-1.3.14, I at least get nothing:
austin@aw25 ~ $ /opt/oldwine/wine-1.3.14/bin/wine cmd
Z:\home\austin>/bin/grep

wineconsole doesn't display fonts for me, but that's a separate issue. Looking
into it.

Actually that last bit is probably bug 34730 which is a 'regression' (patch to
fix it back is on that bug) - my concern with it is whether we should be having
functionality that windows obviously doesnt support, and worse wine cmd cannot
support 'properly' (we always end up running it without waiting for a response)
