NAME


tre-agrep - print lines approximately matching a pattern

SYNOPSIS


tre-agrep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION


Searches for approximate matches of PATTERN in each FILE or standard input. Example:
`tre-agrep -2 optimize foo.txt' outputs all lines in file `foo.txt' that match "optimize"
within two errors. E.g. lines which contain "optimise", "optmise", and "opitmize" all
match.

OPTIONS


Regexp selection and interpretation:
-e PATTERN, --regexp=PATTERN
Use PATTERN as a regular expression; useful to protect patterns beginning with -.

-i, --ignore-case
Ignore case distinctions (as defined by the current locale) in PATTERN and input
files.

-k, --literal
Treat PATTERN as a literal string, that is, a fixed string with no special
characters.

-w, --word-regexp
Force PATTERN to match only whole words. A "whole word" is a substring which
either starts at the beginning or the record or is preceded by a non-word
constituent character. Similarly, the substring must either end at the end of the
record or be followed by a non-word constituent character. Word-constituent
characters are alphanumerics (as defined by the current locale) and the underscore
character. Note that the non-word constituent characters must surround the match;
they cannot be counted as errors.

Approximate matching settings:
-D NUM, --delete-cost=NUM
Set cost of missing characters to NUM.

-I NUM, --insert-cost=NUM
Set cost of extra characters to NUM.

-S NUM, --substitute-cost=NUM
Set cost of incorrect characters to NUM. Note that a deletion (a missing
character) and an insertion (an extra character) together constitute a substituted
character, but the cost will be the that of a deletion and an insertion added
together. Thus, if the const of a substitution is set to be larger than the sum of
the costs of deletion and insertion, direct substitutions will never be done.

-E NUM, --max-errors=NUM
Select records that have at most NUM errors.

-# Select records that have at most # errors (# is a digit between 0 and 9).

Miscellaneous:
-d PATTERN, --delimiter=PATTERN
Set the record delimiter regular expression to PATTERN. The text between two
delimiters, before the first delimiter, and after the last delimiter is considered
to be a record. The default record delimiter is the regexp "\n", so by default a
record is a line. PATTERN can be any regular expression that does not match the
empty string. For example, using -d "^From " defines mail messages as records in a
Mailbox format file.

-v, --invert-match
Select non-matching records instead of matching records.

-V, --version
Print version information and exit.

-y, --nothing
Does nothing. This options exists only for compatibility with the non-free agrep
program.

--help Display a brief help message and exit.

Output control:
-B, --best-match
Only output the best matching records, that is, the records with the lowest cost.
This is currently implemented by making two passes over the input files and cannot
be used when reading from standard input.

--color, --colour
Highlight the matching strings in the output with a color marker. The color string
is taken from the GREP_COLOR environment variable. The default color is red.

-c, --count
Only print a count of matching records per each input file, suppressing normal
output.

-h, --no-filename
Suppress the prefixing filename on output when multiple files are searched.

-H, --with-filename
Prefix each output record with the name of the input file where the record was read
from.

-l, --files-with-matches
Only print the name of each input file which contains at least one match,
suppressing normal output. The scanning for each file will stop on the first
match.

-n, --record-number
Prefix each output record with its sequence number in the input file. The number
of the first record is 1.

-q, --quiet, --silent
Do not write anything to standard output. Exit immediately with zero exit status
if a match is found.

-s, --show-cost
Print match cost with output.

--show-position
Prefix each output record with the start and end offset of the first match within
the record. The offset of the first character of the record is 0. The end
position is given as the offset of the first character after the match.

-M, --delimiter-after
By default, the record delimiter is the newline character and is output after the
matching record. If -d is used, the record delimiter will be output before the
matching record. This option causes the delimiter to be output after the matching
record.

With no FILE, or when FILE is -, reads standard input. If less than two FILEs are given
-h is assumed, otherwise -H is the default.

DIAGNOSTICS


Exit status is 0 if a match is found, 1 for no match, and 2 if there were errors. If -E
or -# is not specified, only exact matches are selected.

PATTERN is a POSIX extended regular expression (ERE) with the TRE extensions.
