Grep is a command line utility that was originally written for use with the Unix operating system. Given a list of files or standard input to read, grep searches for lines of text that match one or many regular expressions, and outputs only the matching lines.
Grep allows you to search files for symbols or strings (groups of characters like words) and will return the files that the search sting is found in. For example you want to search a website’s access log file for a recent traffic that came from a search engine. Most search engine referral urls have a question mark in them. The Grep command would look something like this:
grep [search string] [file name]
