Is there a similar utility to grep available from the Windows Command Prompt, or is there a third party tool for it?

There is a command-line tool called FINDSTR that comes with all Windows NT-class operating systems (type FINDSTR /? into a Command Prompt window for more information) It doesn't support everything grep does but it might be sufficient for your needs.
