COMMENT
You can insert comment lines in pattern file. As for fixed string file, there is no way to write comment.
Lines start with hash mark (#) is ignored as a comment line.
String after double slash (//) is also ignored with preceding
spaces.
MULTILINE REGEX
Complex pattern can be written on multiple lines as follows.
(?xxn) \
( (?<b>\[) | \@ ) # start with "[" or @ \
(?<n> [ \d : , ]+) # sequence of digit, ":", or "," \
(?(<b>) \] | ) # closing "]" if start with "[" \
$ # EOL
WILD CARD
Because file parameter is globbed, you can use wild card to give multiple files. If nothing matched to the wild card, this option is simply ignored with no message.
$ greple -Mxp --exclude-pattern '*.exclude' ...
