GREPSEQ 💖

okay bestie, so this is grepseq from the User Commands section of the manual (that's section 1 for the uninitiated — iykyk 🫶). It's grep, but make it sequence-coded. Let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

grepseq — <optional description of the program>

like. that's literally it. the description is a placeholder, she's mysterious, she's giving "i'll tell you when i'm ready" 😭

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

grepseq [options] <pattern> <files ...>

so you hand her some options, you hand her a pattern, you hand her some files, and she goes to work. main character energy fr fr ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips. exits. periodt. 💖
  • -c, --count — bestie she is NOT going to print your normal output, she's just gonna print a count of the matching lines for each input file. and listen — if you also use the -v, --invert-match option (scroll down, it's there), she counts the non-matching lines instead. okay? okay. 🎀
  • -H, --with-filename — prints the filename for every single match. no more mystery matches, she's naming names 🗣️🔥
  • -i, --ignore-case — ignores case distinctions in both the pattern and the input files. ABC and abc are the same girlie now, no cap 👑
  • -m NUM, --max-count=NUM — stop reading a file after NUM matching lines. okay so the details matter here: when the -c or --count option is also used, grepseq does not output a count greater than NUM. and when the -v or --invert-match option is also used, grep stops after outputting NUM non-matching lines. (yes she said grep there, we love her for it, keeping it exact 💀) so basically: NUM is the limit, respect it ✋
  • -N, --names-only — searches only sequence names. Cannot be used with -S. pick a lane bestie 🙈
  • -S, --sequences-only — searches only sequences. Cannot be used with -N. same energy, opposite direction 🦋
  • -v, --invert-match — inverts the sense of matching, so she selects the non-matching lines. it's giving "not like the other matches" 💜
