    Cygwin EOL Windows

    I am trying to remember how to configure Cygwin to use windows EOL instead of Unix EOL. I haven't had to do this in years and I just bought a new laptop.

    NOTE: Bear with me as I describe the issue. I do not desire responses directing me to use bash shell or perl or anything other than solving the described issue. I know it is possible; I have done so since Win2k. And my now-dead Vista machine worked this way for 10 years. If it hadn't croaked, I would have the bookmark Need to know windows 11 is EOL :( My Win 7 laptop at my former employer worked this way. I remember some step of setting the EOL in the default bash shell; but cannot find any site referencing anything near the issue described below.

    Steps to reproduce: Picking any arbitrary search string with EOL, grep will not find it. E.g., if have sample.txt file:

    1. Open a Windows Command Prompt
    2. execute "grep -i is$ sample.txt"
    3. No results are returned.

    Now, execute

    1. "dos2unix sample.txt"
    2. execute "grep -i is$ sample.txt"
    3. returns the following, as expected

    Now...

    It is not feasible for me to convert all files every time I want to grep. I want to figure out what I did in the past to change grep to look for Windows EOL and not convert the files to Unix EOL.

    I simply cannot remember the steps to run in the default bash shell, or whatever, to effect it. I have searched exhaustively and cannot figure the correct terms to bring up a solution. I am only finding solutions for people who use Ubuntu on Windows or people who use bash shell command instead of Windows Command or other irrelevant solutions.

    I did try to add the solution prescribed on a few sites of adding
    to the Cygwin/home/user/.bash_profile (where user is my Win user name) and it did not work--even when running the command within a bash shell.

    I seem to remember that when running Cygwin solely from a Windows prompt, as I do, there is some default shell that you have to open in bash and type some stuff to make Cygwin recognize the Windows EOL. I cannot find that solution.

    I have also tried changing my grep command to use POSIX and -E and other prescribed solutions; none worked and I never had to do that in the past. I have always used the commands above with no issue (after applying the fix).

    Finally, I have also uninstalled and re-installed Cygwin, to no avail (of course). I saw quite a few sites that indicated that the EOL char is set in the installation; but I am neither prompted for it nor see any screen that indicates a flag for it. And I do not remember this in any Cygwin install dialog from the past. I am installing the 64-bit Windows version found at Cygwin Installation. I use 64-bit Windows 10 1903.

    I apologize for the length of this post; but I wanted to be precise and clear on the issue, the steps I have tried, and what I desire.

    Thank you in advance for your response.
