xlsxgrep is a CLI tool to search text in XLSX, XLS and ODS files. It works similarly to Unix/GNU Linux grep.

Features

• Grep compatible: xlsxgrep tries to be compatible with Unix/Linux grep, where it makes sense. Some of grep options are supported (such as -r, -i or -c).

• Search many XLSX, XLS and ODS files at once, even recursively in directories.

• Regular expressions: Python regex.

Usage:

usage: xlsxgrep [-h] [-V] [-i] [-P] [-w] [-c] [-r] [-H] [-N] [-l] [-L] [-sep SEPARATOR] 
		pattern path [path ...]

positional arguments:
  pattern               use PATTERN as the pattern to search for.
  path                  file or folder location

  -V, --version         display version information and exit.
  -i, --ignore-case     ignore case distinctions.
  -P, --python-regex    PATTERN is a Python regular expression.
  -w, --word-regexp     force PATTERN to match only whole words.
  -c, --count           print only a count of matches per file.
  -r, --recursive       search directories recursively.
  -H, --with-filename   print the file name for each match.
  -N, --with-sheetname  print the sheet name for each match.
  -l, --files-with-match
                        print only names of FILEs with match pattern.
  -L, --files-without-match
                        print only names of FILEs with no match pattern.
  -sep SEPARATOR, --separator SEPARATOR
                        define custom list separator for output, default is TAB
