Super Grep

IMPORTANT: This is alpha software. If you have any version below 0.1.4, please update to 0.1.4 or later. There have been significant changes to the logic that processes the search pattern.

Super Grep is a powerful, format-agnostic search tool that allows you to search for patterns in files and directories with ease. It supports various naming conventions and provides options for controlling search depth, file content searching, and output colorization.

Features

• Format-agnostic pattern matching (supports camelCase, snake_case, PascalCase, kebab-case, Title Case, Capitalized With Spaces, etc.)
• Configurable search depth
• File content searching
• Colorized output option
• Multi-process search for improved performance
• Depth-controlled directory search
• File name only search option
• Stop on first match option
• Option to hide directory paths in output
• Option to show only file names with matches

Installation

You can install Super Grep using pip:

pip install super-grep

Usage

After installation, you can use the super-grep command directly from your terminal:

super-grep [OPTIONS] DIRECTORY PATTERN

Options

• --workers NUMBER: Number of worker processes (default: CPU count)
• --contents: Search within file contents (default: search filenames only)
• --color: Colorize the output
• --depth NUMBER: Depth of directory search (default: 0, search only in given directory; use -1 for unlimited depth)

Examples

1. Search only in the given directory:

   super-grep /path/to/search "FooBar|first_name"
   

2. Search up to 2 levels deep:

   super-grep /path/to/search "FooBar|first_name" --depth 2
   

3. Search all subdirectories:

   super-grep /path/to/search "FooBar|first_name" --depth -1
   

4. Search file contents up to 3 levels deep with colored output:

   super-grep /path/to/search "FooBar|first_name" --depth 3 --contents --color
   

5. Use 8 worker processes:

   super-grep /path/to/search "FooBar|first_name" --workers 8
   

6. Hide the directory path in the output:

   super-grep /path/to/search "getValueFromSection" -H
   

7. Show only filenames and stop on the first match:

   super-grep /path/to/search "getValueFromSection" -H -s
