NAME

reXgrep - Powerful and easy to use graphical grepping tool  

SYNOPSIS

reXgrep [-help] [-version]  

DESCRIPTION

reXgrep is a graphical grep program written using the GTK+ toolkit. Keywords are entered in the "Keywords:" text box, and they can be searched in different ways by selecting the appropriate radio button (viz. PHRASE, ALL, SOME, NONE or by using REGULAR EXPRESSIONS). The "Locate" button calls the "grep" command and displays the results of the grep in a text window. The user can choose to save the results of the grep by clicking the "save" button in the text window.  

TUTORIAL

First you must specify the keywords which you intend to search by typing it out in the text box labelled "Keywords". The keywords can be searched as an "exact Phrase", All(AND), Some(OR), None(NOT), or as a Regular Expression. The mode of searching has to be specified by clicking the appropriate radio button. The default mode is "Phrase". Nest, you should specify the file or directory which yo have to search. This can be done by either typing it's value in the "Look In" text box, or by using the file browser which is activated on clicking the "Browse..." button. You can choose to do a recursive search in the subdirectories by selecting the "Look in subdirectories" checkbox. Selecting the "Ignore case" checkbox causes checking for case(Capital and small alphabets). The line number containing the search pattern can be displayed by checking the "Show line number" checkbox. The context of the grep can be specified by using the spin-buttons. The number of lines to be displayed before and after the matching pattern is found are specified using these spin-buttons. You may use the ~ (tilde) character to specify a user's directory, as you would in the shell. For example, ~ will search your home directory, and ~/src will search the directory src under your home directory. Similarly, ~rohit will search the home directory of user rohit, if you have the permissions though ;-) Quit button quits rexgrep. The Help button opens an xterm(1) showing this manual page, if this manual page is installed on your system.
