xlsxgrep is a CLI tool to search text in XLSX, XLS, CSV, TSV and ODS files. It works similarly to Unix/GNU Linux grep.
-
Grep compatible: xlsxgrep tries to be compatible with Unix/Linux grep, where it makes sense. Some of grep options are supported (such as
-r,-ior-c). -
Search many XLSX, XLS, CSV, TSV and ODS files at once, even recursively in directories.
-
Regular expressions: Python regex.
-
Supported file types: csv, ods, tsv, xls, xlsx
usage: xlsxgrep [-h] [-V] [-P] [-F] [-i] [-w] [-c] [-r] [-H] [-N] [-l] [-L] [-S SEPARATOR] [-Z]

-H, --with-filename print the file name for each match.
-N, --with-sheetname print the sheet name for each match.
