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.

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.

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!

This program is a GUI for the command line tool grep and pdfgrep. Pdfgrep search text in multiple PDF files and grep can serach text in multiple text files. You can use regular expressions for the search (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression). This GUI and the command line tools work without indexing. The following options are used: -i (ignore case) and -F (fixed strings), -n (Print page number or output lines) and -H (Print the file name for each match) from the command line tool. The -r option will be done by the program itself. Performance: This GUI works well when searching in several hundreds of documents (depends on the speed of your computer and the length of the documents). Config Dir: [homedir]/.config/pdfgrepgui Available Languages: - English - German You can add your own language by editing the file [homedir]/.config/pdfgrepgui/language.set

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.

A command line tool for text file analyis, filtering, splitting and reporting. Runs under Java (1.5+), supports plugins written in Groovy. Has nix and win batch files in distributions.

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.

GUI of indexed grep in Windows and Linux. A source code indexing tool, near instant code search tool and navigation. Good for small to medium size code base. It supports fuzzy matching, auto complete, and live grep for real time query. Manage different projects and switch for different projects Drag and drop of filenames to your favourite editor.

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.

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.

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.

This single-file project transcodes VCF/VCARD files into JSON for easy filtering with grep. VCARD support is incomplete but can be extended. This project was motivated from recovering contacts backed up from an Android phone in a human-readable yet machine-friendly format.

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

Lograptor is a search tool for system logs written in legacy BSD syslog format RFC 3164 and for IETF syslog protocol RFC 5424. The program can perform searches in syslog files like as the UNIX command "grep", but with the addition of some filters and parameters, useful to restrict the search field and retrieve the relevant informations from log files. You could specify parameters like hostname, application, date, time range, plus a set of filters on message data.

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.

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.

OpenVMS-inspired "dir", "copy", "purge" commands that support file version numbers. "dir -resolution" makes summaries of disk usage. "rename -lower -portable" cleans up filenames. grep-like "search". "filter" maps characters, trims blanks,

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.
