Elisp 実装の編集可能な再帰 grep

interactively-editable recursive grep implementation in elisp

Screencast

Usage

Require this script

(require 'phi-grep)

then following commands are available.

phi-grep-in-file

grep in a single file

phi-grep-in-directory

recursive grep in a directory tree

In dired-mode buffers, following commands are available in addition.

phi-grep-dired-in-dir-at-point

grep in a directory at point

phi-grep-dired-in-file-at-point

grep in a file at point

phi-grep-dired-in-marked-files

grep in all marked files

phi-grep-dired-in-all-files

grep in all listed files

phi-grep-dired-dwim

automatically choose one of above

In the phi-grep result buffer, you can also perform a recursive grep.

phi-grep-recursive

grep within the files in the current result

You can exit phi-grep with one of [C-g] or [RET]. [C-g] will jump you back to the original position where phi-grep is invoked, and [RET] does not.

You can optionally edit the result of grep, and you will asked whether to commit changes or not.

Advantages

• Implemented in pure Elisp.
  • phi-grep can also search in opened buffers (not only files on the disk), thus the result can reflect unsaved changes.
  • phi-grep does not depends on the external command “grep”. So you can do grep-and-edit on every OS that Emacs can run on.
• Result is editable INTERACTIVELY with preview.
• Result is consistent even when you edit some parts of matched files after phi-grep.
