grep /grep/ vi. from the qed/ed editor idiom g/re/p, where re stands
   for a regular expression, to globally search for the regular expression
   and print the lines containing matches to it, via unix `grep1' to
   rapidly scan a file or set of files looking for a particular string or
   pattern when browsing through a large set of files, one may speak of
   `grepping around'. by extension, to look for something by pattern.
   "grep the bulletin board for the system backup schedule, would you?" see
   also vgrep.

   it has been alleged that the source is from the title of a paper "a
   general regular expression parser", but dmr confirms the g/re/p
   etymology -esr

grep
     
          a unix command for
        searching files for lines matching a given regular
        expression re.  named after the qed/ed editor
        subcommand "g/re/p", where re stands for a regular expression,
        to globally search for the regular expression and print the
        lines containing matches to it.  there are two other variants,
        fgrep which searches only for fixed strings and egrep which
        accepts extended res but is usually the fastest of the three.
     
        used by extension to mean "to look for something by pattern".
        when browsing through a large set of files, one may speak of
        "grepping around".  "grep the bulletin board for the system
        backup schedule, would you?"  see also vgrep.
