The PPT grep Command
This is the home page for the Perl Power Tools
implementation of the standard grep command.
Current Perl implementations are:
- A fancy version (née tcgrep)
by tchrist and its manpage by gbacon.
This is really more an egrep-style thing. We don't distinguish
grep from egrep. It now supports fgrep mode. Still needs docs.
- Here's a simple version by
Nick Ing-Simmons. It does its own globbing. That means it won't
work on normal systems, nor will ours work there. This is a
severe problem that needs addressing.
(This one has a batch file for CP/M
derisibles.)
