Overview

What is GREPSB?

is an enhanced replacement for the DOS "find" command, and an improvement of the UNIX "grep" and "fgrep" functions.

In depth

A closer look at GREPSB

GREPSB allows you to find specific lines in a file which contain (or do not contain) a string or a regular expression. You can also simultaneously search for multiple regular expressions.

While the usual DOS "find" searches only for simple strings, GREPSB searches for strings or regular expressions. For example, if you search with "find" for the word "the", you also get matches for "leather" and "mother". Not with GREPSB!

The program lets you output the actual lines, any match counts, or just the names of files that contain matches.

In addition, you can display context lines around the actual matching lines, and the output can be either DOS-style (file name as a header above the matching lines), or UNIX-style (file name on each matching line).
