RE: [LUG] Open Source?
> What does it do, BTW?
Thanks for
asking, it is based on the wel-known sed script, gres, only with other
features. It supports Basic or Extended regex's, or fixed text (like
fgrep), and does text search/substitutions. These can be to stdout,
or can create file copies (with changes) in a target directory, and
can act recursively on a directory tree. So it is useful for applying mass
changes to large numbers of files. Regex's are GNU regex engine plus
perl-like extensions, including back-references.
