mtx-grep(1)

✨ NAME ✨

bestie, this is mtx-grep — the Simple Grepper 💅 she's the little script that comes with mtxrun and she exists to find stuff for you. that's it. that's the job. no cap.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mtxrun --script grep [ OPTIONS ...  ] [ FILENAMES ]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. Simple Grepper. genuinely as simple as the name is giving — you point her at some files, you tell her what to look for, she greps. lowkey iconic for how unbothered she is about it. 🌸

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --pattern — search for pattern (optional) 🔍 like, this one is literally optional, she said "you can tell me what to look for, or not, I'm flexible"
• --count — count matches only 🔢 not the matches themselves, just the number. she's giving accountant energy for exactly this flag.
• --nocomment — skip lines that start with %% or # 🙈 she's skipping the commentary, we're only here for the main character lines.
• --n — show at most n matches ✂️ where n is a number, bestie. cap the output, we don't need the whole saga.
• --first — only show first match 🥇 first one and then she's done, no further questions
• --match — return the match (if it is one) ✅ conditional queen behaviour — she returns it if it is one
• --xml — pattern is lpath expression 🌈 not a plain old pattern, an lpath expression, okay? different beast entirely.
