Grep Tool

Search text files for lines matching a pattern using regular expressions. Use for log analysis, code searching, and data filtering.

Pattern Search Utility

Search through files and output lines matching a given pattern. Supports basic, extended, and Perl-compatible regular expressions.

Common Options

• -i: Case-insensitive search
• -r: Recursive directory search
• -n: Show line numbers
• -v: Invert match (show non-matching lines)
• -c: Count matches instead of showing lines

Examples

grep-tool -i "error" log.txt

# Recursive search
