Power searching on your desktop without the pain. Perform powerful desktop searches without having to index your system using regular expressions. Graphical equivalent to find/grep. Available for Windows (JAVA) and Linux (Gnome & KDE) and easy to translate into your locale.

Search and replace operations on file content accross multiple files. Recursive operations within entire directory trees. FAR comes with support for regular expressions (regex) over multiple lines, automatic backup and various character encodings. Run grep like extractions to condense or rearrange sources, or perform bulk file renaming.

Find And Replace Text command line utility. New & improved version of the well-known grep command, with advanced features such as: case-adaption of the replace string; find (& replace) in filenames, auto CVS edit. Moved to https://github.com/lionello/fart-it

ngrep strives to provide most of GNU grep's common features,applying them to the network layer. ngrep is a pcap-aware tool that will allow you to specify extended regular expressions to match against data payloads of packets. SUPPORT/REPORTING BUGS: please use https://github.com/jpr5/ngrep/issues Thank you!

CRGREP searches for matching text in databases, various document formats, archives and other difficult to access resources. A command line tool for name and content text matching in database tables, plain files, MS Office documents, PDF, archives, MP3 audio, image meta-data, scanned documents, maven dependencies and web resources. CRGREP will search resources within resources of any arbitrary combination or depth, so text within a document within a zip archive, and so on. Here you will find binary downloads and discussion (https://sourceforge.net/p/crgrep/discussion/) . The actual development and issue tracking can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/cryanfuse/crgrep

glark offers grep-like searching of text files, with very powerful, complex regular expressions (e.g., "/foo\w+/ and /bar[^\d]*baz$/ within 4 lines of each other"), as well as highlighting of matches.

cgrep provides many of the features of grep, egrep, and fgrep with greatly enhanced performance along with many additional features, one of which is the ability to output the context (surrounding lines) of the matching lines.

A lightweight toolkit for efficient processing of XML data. The tools are analagous to the UNIX command-line text processing tools sort, grep, etc. The infrastructure includes an efficient DFA-based engine for streaming evaluation of XPath expressions.

Sgrep (sorted grep) is a much faster alternative to traditional Unix grep when searching large files, because sgrep searches sorted input files using a fast binary search to find matching lines.

A tool which allows you to download all erotic images and videos hosted on popular image hosting sites tagged with a given tag without clicking you through the web interface. ,,java bayimg yourtag'' is enought.

Term-Highlight is a highly customizable perl-compatible regexp highlighter for wide range of terminal emulators. Term-Highlight can be used as grep-like engine or command output highlighter. You can use it just to learn perl regular expressions!

The findstr is searching the words in the text and binary files in several codepages. The famouse 'grep' is very slow and get a lot memory for large binary files without ends of lines - findstr is fast and light, but it doesn't use regular expressions.

Provide a plugabble and configurable alternative to UNIX tools like grep, awk, tail, head, cut, sort, uniq or even some perl based scripts in a Java environment. A bit like what Apache Ant means to good old make.

Scat is a powerful and useful tool to print out files content either as a raw text or hexdump (hexadecimal dump). It also has wide set of options to manipulate an output, which makes scat useful with cascade piping (like find | scat | grep) or debugging

Bibgrep indexes and searches BibTex files for entries matching a given query. Its usage is similar to the command ``grep'' and the queries uses a Google-like syntax.

bingrep is a small binary version of grep, scanning binary files for a given pattern. Along a match it can display surrounding data as an hexdump of arbitrary size. It is capable to scan more than 4GB.

This utility will provide grep-like functionality to return multi-line (record) matches for blank-line deliminated files such as LDIF files used by LDAP. A match on any line will return all lines from the previous blank line until the following one.

An easy to use grep console for Eclipse with a handful of useful functions.

A Python/Tk gui for find and grep. FindEmAll is, compared with other similar file search tools, fast and resource-efficient and independent from any desktop environment (no Gnome or KDE libraries required).

Fsgrep is a simple Java application which allows a user to search all files in a directory structure for lines matching a given pattern. Its functionality is a combination of the Unix find and grep utilities.

GeekGrep is a Django based social-networking system designed to get geeks connected with each other. The main feature is a database of geek codes and the ability to search them. See our project web site for a design template of the future site.

GrepClipse is an easy way to filter an Eclipse console's content through a regular expression as you'll do it on a *nix console through the commands grep -n <regexpr> <currentConsoleContent> followed by tail -nf <newConsoleContent> | grep <regexpr> helping the analysis of logs during the execution of a process.

A multiplatform visual implementation of the Unix utility grep
