pogrep(1)

💅 pogrep(1) — the grep-for-localization-files glow-up

okay bestie, listen. this is pogrep, from the Translate Toolkit, and it's genuinely that girl. she greps through your localization files — XLIFF, Gettext PO and TMX — and pulls out the matches like a lil treasure hunt 🔍✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

pogrep — grep the XLIFF, Gettext PO and TMX localization files. yes. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pogrep [--version] [-h|--help] [--manpage] [--progress PROGRESS]
[--errorlevel ERRORLEVEL] [-i|--input] INPUT [-x|--exclude EXCLUDE]
[-o|--output] OUTPUT [--search SEARCHPARTS] [-I|--ignore-case]
[-e|--regexp] [-v|--invert-match] [--accelerator ACCELERATOR]
[-k|--keep-translations]

like, that's a lot of brackets, i know, but she's flexible 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: every match gets written out to snippet files, and those snippets are the same type as what you fed in. then you can literally just review them 👀 and later merge them back together using pomerge — the whole workflow is giving main character energy.

💡 if you want examples and actual usage instructions (not just me hyping her up), the docs live here: http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/pogrep.html

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• --version — shows the program's version number and dips ✌️
• -h/--help — shows this help message and exits. classic icon behaviour
• --manpage — outputs a manpage based on the help. yes she can write about herself, queen
• --progress — shows progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your aesthetic 🎀
• --errorlevel — shows errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback. how much drama do you want when things go wrong 💀
• -i/--input — reads from INPUT in gmo, mo, po, pot, tmx, xlf, xlff, xliff formats. that's the menu, bestie
• -x/--exclude — excludes names matching EXCLUDE from the input paths. not invited to the party 🙈
• -o/--output — writes to OUTPUT in gmo, mo, po, pot, tmx, xlf, xlff, xliff formats. same formats, same energy
• --search — searches the given parts (source, target, notes and locations). choose your battlefield ⚔️
• -I/--ignore-case — ignores case distinctions. Hello and hello are literally the same to her 💅
• -e/--regexp — uses regular expression matching. for the regex girlies 🔥
• -v/--invert-match — selects non-matching lines. the contrarian option, we stan
• --accelerator — ignores the given accelerator when matching. so the &-keyboard-shortcut thing doesn't throw off your match
• -k/--keep-translations — always extracts units with translations. keep the translated babies safe 🫶

🌈 ok tiny reminder before you go: snippets come out in the same file type as the input, and the merge-afterwards step is pomerge. that's it, that's the workflow. iykyk.
