💖 mtx-grep(1) — Simple Grepper 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair because we're diving into mtx-grep(1), aka the Simple Grepper — and yes, it's giving exactly what it says on the tin. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

mtx-grep — Simple Grepper

like. it greps. it's simple. it's iconic. periodt. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

so you're running it through mtxrun with --script grep, and then you can throw in some OPTIONS ... and optionally some FILENAMES. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Simple Grepper

yes, that's the entire description. short king energy. not me expecting a whole essay 😭 it's literally just a simple grepper, and honestly? respect. 💜

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --pattern — search for pattern (optional). lowkey the main character of the flag list, but she's optional so no pressure bestie ✨
  • --count — count matches only. just the numbers, ma'am. 🔢
  • --all — count all occurences in a line. yes, every single one on that line, not just the first. highkey thorough. 💯
  • --nocomment — skip lines that start with %% or #. we do NOT have time for comments today 🙈
  • --noattic — skip files that hh considers irrelevant. if hh said it's irrelevant, it's irrelevant, and that's that. 💀
  • --n — show at most n matches. n is your limit, you set it, you own it. 👑
  • --first — only show first match. we're keeping it brief, we're being mysterious. 🧚
  • --match — return the match (if it is one). conditional queen. if it's a match, you get it; if not, don't come crying. 💅
  • --xml — pattern is lpath expression. fancy XML mode activated, slay. 🌈
