grep Command Generator
Generate grep commands to search text with patterns and regex
Getting Started with grep
## What is grep?
The `grep` command searches text for patterns and prints matching lines. It's one of the most powerful Unix tools for log analysis, code search, and text processing.
## How to Use
1. **Set Options**: Choose case sensitivity, line numbers, etc. 2. **Enter Pattern**: Specify the text or regex to search for. 3. **Specify Target**: Enter file or directory to search. 4. **Copy & Run**: Copy the generated command into your terminal.
Common Options
### `-i` Ignore case Match patterns case-insensitively (Error matches error, ERROR, etc.).
### `-n` Line numbers Prefix each matching line with its line number in the file.
### `-v` Invert match Show lines that do NOT match the pattern (useful for filtering).
### `-w` Word regex Match only whole words (prevents partial matches like "error" matching "errors").
### `-E` Extended regex Enable extended regular expressions (like egrep).
### `-c` Count Print only a count of matching lines per file.
### `-r` Recursive Search recursively through directories.
