Introduction to Grep

Grep searches one or more input files
for lines containing a match to a specified pattern.
By default, grep prints the matching lines.

Downloading Grep
The current stable version of Grep can be found on in the subdirectory /gnu/grep/ on your favorite GNU mirror.
The current development version (introducing new features and bugfixes, but also quite possibly new bugs) can be found at ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grep.
You can also access the current development tree using CVS. Detailed instructions can be found here.
For other ways to obtain Grep, please read
