ngp2

ncurses-grep

ngp2 lets you browse results of a grep-like search in a Vim-like style and open them in your favourite editor (vim) at the right line.

Features

• search for a pattern/a regexp in a folder or a file
• by default, only source files are scanned, though a raw mode (-r) or special extensions may be specified (-t, -o)
• subsearches: search your search!

Usage

• use arrows and page up/down or home/end to navigate the results
• hit enter to open a result in your favorite editor
• hit q to quit the current subsearch or otherwise quit the program
• use / for a subsearch to include new pattern
• use \ for a subsearch to exclude new pattern

Examples

Find all occurrences of "int" in sources files under /usr/src

ngp int /usr/src/

Find case insensitive string "passw" in all files recursively under ./data/

ngp -ri passw ./data/

Find all occurrences of "test(" only in python files, recursively under parent

ngp -o .py 'test(' ..

Find numbers using a regexp in the current dir, ignoring all directories named "test"

ngp -re '[0-9]\+' -x test
