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

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.

A circumstantially faster, more lightweight, ripgrep-inspired alternative.

PathPicker accepts a wide range of input, output from git commands, grep results, searches, pretty much anything. After parsing the input, PathPicker presents you with a nice UI to select which files you're interested in. After that you can open them in your favorite editor or execute arbitrary commands. Facebook PathPicker is a simple command line tool that solves the perpetual problem of selecting files out of bash output. Bash is fully supported and works the best. ZSH is supported as well, but won't have a few features like alias expansion in command line mode. csh/fish/rc are supported in the latest version, but might have quirks or issues in older versions of PathPicker. Note: if your default shell and current shell is not in the same family (bash/zsh... v.s. fish/rc), you need to manually export environment variable $SHELL to your current shell.

THIS PROJECT HAS MOVED TO: https://sourceforge.net/projects/documentgrep/ 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

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!

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.

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.

Minimalist Cross-platform grep function. The grep command is a command-line tool in Unix and Unix-like systems used to search and print lines of text that match a specified pattern within one or more files. Licensed under ISC License.

mgrep is a command line tool that allows users to search text files for lines matching a given regular expression. It is similar to the well-known Unix utility, grep. As a natural extension to the single-line regular expressions, mgrep is also capable of searching for multiline patterns. mgrep is not a grep replacement, but it is intended to be grep-compatible: implemented options and behavior should be the same as those of grep. mgrep is written in C++ using the Boost.Regex library. A configure/make system is provided for Linux, but its source code should compile on all platforms that have the std and Boost.Regex libraries installed.

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.

Java IDE, project support, build, debugger, grep.

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.

Pdfgrep is a tool to search text in PDF files. It works similar to grep.

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

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.

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.

LogsGrep is a unique, grep-like utility designed specifically to target log files containing multi-line entries. The primary target is Java log files (Log4J, common, ...), where it is very common to have multiline log entries (for example log entries with a stacktrace). It follows Unix philosophy, does only its primary job and expects its input to be generated by other more advanced tools (tail, cat, type, find...); There is no goal to be compatible with Unix grep. LogsGrep is written in the Java programming langue having performance and low resource usage in mind (no strings, no object creation, stream-processing).

This is a simplified version of the GNU Grep. Search a RegExp on a file that contain all alphanumeric characters. Use special symbols like @ and # to extend the search. Now you can set Case Sensitive option and ignore withespaces during the search.

Shell.NET is a set of console and winform applications written in C#. It features nearly 100 applications ranging from classical Unix applications like basename, cal, grep, tr, uniq, and wc, to some very unique tools like RunScript or TextTransform.

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!
