Do you need to search plain text files?

Do you have big files? Lots of tiny files?

How about inline searching of command output?

Introducing "grep"!!!

Find out if grep is the tool for you!

Watch as your fingers never leave your hands while you slice and dice plain text!

Be amazed as you quickly search through mountains of text to find what you're looking for.

But, wait, there's more.

There's an entire grep family of tools!

• egrep for advanced regular expressions
• fgrep to ditch the regular expressions
• rgrep to recursively search a filesystem

There are also the compression and archival cousins such as:

• bzgrep
• zgrep
• xzgrep
• ptargrep

Those family members also come as accessory command line switches.
