had a quick look into the standalone installer by unzip the exe, there are
no tools like grep, sed etc included.

OTOH in OSGeo4W-winGRASS, these tools are living in 

C:\OSGeo4W64\apps\msys\bin

please have a look into a OSGeo4W-installation under "apps\msys\bin" in
order to screen which additional useful tools may be included into
standalone installer, as OSGeo4W is the build environment of the standalone
installer.

but keep in mind, there are some MS genuin equivalents of some 'unix' tools
like more [1] or sort [2].

further, in MS powershell there are also some similar tools to cover
functionality like grep.

and furthermore, since win 10 there is also linux for windows [3] .... ;-)

to sum up, there isn't one solution to 'mimic' unix like command line
terminals in winGRASS.

IMHO it would be worth to discuss this in a future code sprint to find a
good way to support a smooth command line in winGRASS.
