Thanks to everyone who responded, and sorry for my late response. Grin seems like the perfect solution for me. I finally had a chance to download it and play with it today. It's great.
Robert...you were kind enough to ask if I had any requests. Just the one right now of grepping through gzip files. If for some reason you don't want to do it or don't have time to do it, I could probably do it and send you a patch. But I imagine that since you wrote the code, you could do it more elegantly than I could. Thanks! P.S. Robert....this program totally deserves a real web page, not just being buried in an svn repository. I spent a lot of time looking for a tool like this that was written in python. I imagine others have as well, and have simply given up. On Mar 18, 7:16 pm, Robert Kern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have agrep-like utility I call "grin".
