I often use grep to do searches like

    grep -nr "matchFound[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*true" . 

to look for something like

    matchFound = true
    matchFound   =   true

But just for the sake of space, the syntax is so verbose. Is it possible to make it less verbose?

Please note: I am using grep on Windows 7.
