grin

grin is a similar in function to GNU grep, however it is has modified behaviour to make it simpler to use when grepping source code. Some features grin feature are: * recurse directories by default * do not go into directories with specified names * do not search files with specified extensions * be able to show context lines before and after matched lines * Python regex syntax * unless suppressed via a command line option, display the filename regardless of the number of files * accept a file (or stdin) with a list of newline-separated filenames * grep through gzipped text files * be useful as a library to build custom tools quickly
