The data +model of sgrep is based on regions, which are nonempty substrings of text. +Regions are typically occurrences of constant strings, SGML-tags, or meaningful +text elements, which are recognizable through some delimiting strings or the +builtin SGML, XML and HTML parser. Regions can be arbitrarily long, arbitrarily +overlapping, and arbitrarily nested. -Sgrep was created by: - - Jani Jaakkola, email:Jani.Jaakkola@helsinki.fi - Pekka Kilpelainen, email: Pekka.Kilpelainen@helsinki.fi +Sgrep is a convenient tool for making queries to almost any kind of text files +with some well kown structure. These include programs, mail folders, news +folders, HTML, SGML, etc... With relatively simple queries you can display mail +messages by their subject or sender, extract titles or links or any regions +from HTML files, function prototypes from C or make complex queries to SGML +files based on the DTD of the file.
