Two suggestions:

1) Use the cygwin tools. You can get windows versions of all the standard Unix stuff such as bash, sed, egrep, etc. Couple that with vim (windows native) and you should have what you need.

2) Run linux in a VM under windows, and do the work there. I do this frequently with virtualbox, but I am sure that the other VM managers work fine as well.
