This project was made as a learning project.
That being said, I do try my best to make the code as good as I know about and may occasionally revisit with optimizations.
However, it is unlikely that large feature updates are made.
Usage: grepox [OPTION]... QUERY [FILES]...
Search for QUERY in FILES.
Example:
# Finds the phrase 'hello world' case-insensitively in file1.txt
# and file2.txt and prints matches in color
grepox -ci 'hello world' file1.txt file2.txt
Options:
-i Ignore case distinctions in QUERY
-n Print line number with output lines
-v Invert match: select non-matching lines
-F String searching, disables regex
-x Only match whole lines, only works with -F
-w Only match whole words, only works with -F
-U No unicode, can speed up regular expressions
-m=<NUM> Stop after NUM matches
-c Colorizes output
-h Print this help and exit
- Regex support
- Reads from stdin so users can pipe programs' outputs into it (e.g.
seq 10000 | grepox '^\d{1,3}$') - Customizable using command flags
- Colors
