His Grepship is a visual grep tool running under Win32, finding search expressions in text/HTML/XML/Unicode files. Special features: . Global find and replace on PC or network. Optionally confirm each replacement, and/or roll back changes afterwards.
This operation is UNIX-smart, i.e it will maintain UNIX line-endings. Output is color-coded, so that the found and replaced expressions stand out against the surrounding text.
These colors are configurable. It can search for straight text, or UNIX-style regular expressions. Can read and write Unicode, big- and little-endian.
Can search multiple unrelated directories, and all their subdirectories. Has its own built-in editor. Double-clicking an output line will activate this editor to open the relevant file, locate the line and highlight the search expression, ready for editing.
May be associated with certain 3rd-party text editors, to achieve the same effect, i.e. open the file, find the clicked line and place the cursor on the expression. Currently these editors are Vim, Lemmy, TextPad and WinEdit. His Grepship comes with a comprehensive Help, and a tutorial browse sequence for new users.
A fuller description, along with screen shots, can be seen on www.hisnerdship.com. His Grepship may be downloaded on a 30-day trial basis. The DLLs to associate His Grepship with 3rd-party editors are free |
