### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very handy reference
*by C***E on February 8, 2009*

This little book is everything a pocket reference should be. grep and egrep are not hard to use, but there are quite a few valid combinations of options, and this book pretty much covers them all. If you want to find expressions in one or more files, this is the tool to use. It's easy to forget everything available, so this book puts everything in one place for you. There's even a section on an option of grep that is only valid with PERL, so you may or may not have access to it. The following is the table of contents since it is not listed in the product description. One word of warning - if you don't already understand regular expressions this book won't teach it to you. It is indeed just a quick reference for concepts you should already know. The advanced tips and tricks section is the only exception to that rule and is itself worth the price of admission.Chapter 1. grep Pocket ReferenceSection 1.1. IntroductionSection 1.2.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Search no further!
*by N***. on October 6, 2021*

Best pocket reference for an essential command line tool. Fits neatly in back or front pocket, easy to read and navigate. Thorough overview of this tool for first time users or quick reference for experienced users just waking up in the morning.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crash course and beyond
*by E***I on October 30, 2013*

Be warned this book is not for those that are on something something for dummiies series. Neither is it for advanced users. It's more for us whose day job entitles going throough thousands of rows of string looking for that one line or two. Data like logs but not restricted too. It is also good as a lookup as it comes in a handy portable wallet size. I liked it and learned alot.
