vgrep is a Python script to search strings in a given source tree. It is inspired by cgvg, but faster by using 'git grep'.
The script is in an early version. Feedback & patches are always welcome. Feel free to copy, change, distribute and share.
##Usage Example:
###Searching a symbol You can search for all occurrences of a specified string 'FOO' in your current directory by calling vgrep FOO. You can also specify multiple arguments to search for. vgrep prints the occurrences in the format "Index Source File Source Line Content". The index can later be used to open a specific location in an editor. vgrep caches the results of the last call, so that you can re-open your previous results by simply calling vgrep without arguments. Add '--word-regexp' if you want to match the pattern 'FOO' only at word boundaries (e.g., to avoid substring matches).
Note that vgrep pipes the output to 'less' for outputs bigger than 100 indexes. You can turn this behavior off with '--no-less' so that the entire output will be printed on the console.
If you're outside a Git repository or just don't like 'git grep' pass '--no-git' to use to 'grep' instead.
###Show indexed location To visit a specific location pass '--show INDEX'. vgrep will then open the location pointed to by INDEX with the editor that is set in your enviroment. vgrep defaults to vim if the EDITOR environment variable is not set.
