Hi –

I’ve just released version 0.9.3 of the Grepper library, which  
includes a grep.rb commandline tool for grepping. It all tries to  
strictly emulate the results of a subset of GNU grep(1).

Supported options:

-A, -B, -C, -c, -h, -H, -l, -L, -n, -o, -v

The project is at:

[http://rubyforge.org/projects/grepper/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/grepper/)

Does this functionality already exist in Rush (  
[http://adam.blog.heroku.com/past/2008/2/19/rush\_the\_ruby\_shell/](http://adam.blog.heroku.com/past/2008/2/19/rush_the_ruby_shell/))? If  
not,  
would you consider adding it?

I can’t seem to reach that site. I’m not involved with that project,  
but I imagine it would be easy to install the Grepper library and go  
from there. I’ll try to have a look if I can reach the site later.

Try this one:  
[http://rush.heroku.com/](http://rush.heroku.com/)

It’s the official site.
