Product Description:

AquaGrep is a Mac OS X front-end to the Unix grep text search utility.

Grep's powerful and versatile text search features, its speed and its straight-forward working principle have made it one of the most heavily used Unix command line tools.

You can use grep to search through HTML and text files, analyse web server logs, etc.. It is the ideal companion for the Mac OS X webmaster and all other other users who require powerful text search features.

While Mac OS X comes with a full-featured grep implementation in its Darwin kernel, command line tools are notoriously difficult to use and do not offer the kind of user experience that Macintosh users have come to expect over the last 15 years.

What's new in this version:

Fixes a problem with the installer. Users who have downloaded the 1.1 installer should download this file in order to get the correct executable file.

AquaGrep ReviewI'm the last… - Version: 1.1.1, 4/29/2003 01:18AM PST

person to give a low score for a simple GUI wrapper, but in this case I agree that this GUI just doesn't cut it. What *would* be useful is a clever pull-down menu of grep expressions, or an assistant. I'm thinking here of PageSpinner (an HTML editor) which does not require knowledge of HTML to use. And it's excellent. So I'd urge the author of this to ask the following question: who's going to use grep? Presumably, someone who already knows it exists. They can only do that through knowing about UNIX, or through BBEdit and equivalent. So what such a person is most likely to need is not the means for using grep (BBEdit Lite, no longer supported, was *free* and still widely available) but a means for remembering and applying all the myriad different expressions and their syntax. Do something like that, and I'd pay $20, not $10!

take a geek to use grep. Not to mention, almost every text editor in existence has a grep feature, and there are free ones out there. 1-star for being unnecessary.

of using grep is defining the expressions. A front end that does this would be useful, something comparable to NisusWriter's PowerFind.
