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.

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.

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

Make JSON greppable. gron transforms JSON into discrete assignments to make it easier to grep for what you want and see the absolute 'path' to it. It eases the exploration of APIs that return large blobs of JSON.

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.

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.

Visual pattern matching with regular expression search tool

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.

Grep tool for OASIS Open Document Format (ODF) files. Search content and meta streams for regular expressions.

This single-file project transcodes VCF/VCARD files into JSON for easy filtering with grep. VCARD support is incomplete but can be extended. This project was motivated from recovering contacts backed up from an Android phone in a human-readable yet machine-friendly format.

This utility will provide grep-like functionality to return multi-line (record) matches for blank-line deliminated files such as LDIF files used by LDAP. A match on any line will return all lines from the previous blank line until the following one.

A tool which allows you to download all erotic images and videos hosted on popular image hosting sites tagged with a given tag without clicking you through the web interface. ,,java bayimg yourtag'' is enought.

An easy to use grep console for Eclipse with a handful of useful functions.

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.

GeekGrep is a Django based social-networking system designed to get geeks connected with each other. The main feature is a database of geek codes and the ability to search them. See our project web site for a design template of the future site.

"Genba" is a Japanese word. It means the place where the trouble has occurred:) This project produces the tools about the troubleshooting for Java. Java Thread Dump Grep(jtdgrep) is a simple tool for analyzing Java Thread Dump. It helps you to filter t

An expriemental UI for the grep text search utility created with Tcl/Gnocl.

GrepClipse is an easy way to filter an Eclipse console's content through a regular expression as you'll do it on a *nix console through the commands grep -n <regexpr> <currentConsoleContent> followed by tail -nf <newConsoleContent> | grep <regexpr> helping the analysis of logs during the execution of a process.

A multiplatform visual implementation of the Unix utility grep

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.

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).
