Hi folks,

I’m Kaipeng Zeng who is a Linux user and Wine/CrossOver user from China. I am major 

in Biomedical Engineering in Guangdong Pharmaceutical University.

I’d like to apply GSoC to work for Wine Project this year. My proposal is "Implementing 

findstr.exe for Wine".

Though findstr is a quite independent program in Wine, I think it is valuable to implement. 

As far as I knew, there are some bugs about findstr in Bugzilla[1]. Any other programs 

in Chinese depend on it too. The implementation of findstr will help these programs and

all the programs will also be good tests for our implementation. Besides, I think the code

of grep will be helpful for implementing findstr.

There are three parts in my plan:

=== Part 1: Add more tests for findstr.exe ===

I have submitted a patch for findstr’s test to wine-patches[2]. I will add more tests to

prepare for the implementation.

=== Part 2: Implement an initial findstr.exe ===

With enough tests, I will try to implement the findstr gradually. My middle goal is having 

an initial implementation of findstr which can handle some simple work. Bug 35254[3] may

be fixed after this part is finished.

=== Part 3: Add more parameters implementation === 

In this part, I will add more tests and try to implement more arguments for findstr, let it 

solve more things.
