Class Grep

java.lang.Object
gnu.regexp.util.Grep

public class Grep extends Object
Grep is a pure-Java clone of the GNU grep utility. As such, it is much slower and not as full-featured, but it has the advantage of being available on any system with a Java virtual machine.

  • Method Details

    • main

      public static void main(String[] argv)
      Invokes the grep() function below with the command line arguments and using the RESyntax.RE_SYNTAX_GREP syntax, which attempts to emulate the traditional UNIX grep syntax.
    • grep

      public static int grep(String[] argv, RESyntax syntax, PrintStream out)
      Runs Grep with the specified arguments. For a list of supported options, specify "--help". This is the meat of the grep routine, but unlike main(), you can specify your own syntax and PrintStream to use for output.
