NAME

grep-terms - Print lines that match terms

VERSION

This document describes version 0.002 of grep-terms (from Perl distribution App-GrepUtils), released on 2020-11-08.

SYNOPSIS

% grep-terms [GREP-TERM-OPTIONS]... <TERMS> [GREP-OPTIONS | FILES]...
% grep-terms --help
% grep-terms --version|-V

Example:

% grep-terms "foo bar baz -qux -quux" -i file.txt

will print lines from file.txt that contain "foo", "bar", "baz" (in no particular order) and do not contain "qux" or "quux".

DESCRIPTION

grep-terms is a simple wrapper for Unix command grep. It converts terms (the first argument) like this:

"foo bar baz -qux -quux"

to:

-P -e '^(?=.*foo)(?=.*bar)(?=.*baz)(?!.*qux)(?!.*quux)'

It allows searching each term in terms in no particular order and negative search (using the dash prefix syntax). The drawback is that grep won't highlight the terms. Use abgrep for that.

EXIT CODES

0 on success.

255 on I/O error.

99 on command-line options error.
