- @findex grep
- Just as you can run a compiler from Emacs and then visit the lines
- where there were compilation errors, you can also run @code{grep} and
- then visit the lines on which matches were found. This works by
- treating the matches reported by @code{grep} as if they were ``errors.''
-
- To do this, type @kbd{M-x grep}, then enter a command line that
- specifies how to run @code{grep}. Use the same arguments you would give
- @code{grep} when running it normally: a @code{grep}-style regexp
- (usually in single-quotes to quote the shell's special characters)
- followed by file names, which may use wildcards. The output from
- @code{grep} goes in the @samp{*grep*} buffer. You can find the
- corresponding lines in the original files using @kbd{C-x `} and
- @key{RET}, as with compilation errors.
-
- If you specify a prefix argument for @kbd{M-x grep}, it figures out
- the tag (@pxref{Tags}) around point, and puts that into the default
- @code{grep} command.
-
- @findex grep-find
- @findex find-grep
- The command @kbd{M-x grep-find} (also available as @kbd{M-x
- find-grep}) is similar to @kbd{M-x grep}, but it supplies a different
- initial default for the command---one that runs both @code{find} and
- @code{grep}, so as to search every file in a directory tree. See also
- the @code{find-grep-dired} command, in @ref{Dired and Find}.
