App::File::Grepper

Version GitHub issues PRs Welcome Language Perl

A simple but powerful tool to examine hierarchies of text files for the occurrence of a pattern. Kind of recursive 'grep'.

A feature not present in similar tools is the ability to pass each file that matches to less for viewing, or to vi or emacs for editing.

A simple driver script 'afg' is included for convenience.
