ugrep -- search for regular expressions from a dialog box

DESCRIPTION

ugrep is a graphical command combining the functionality of grep and find.

When you run the ugrep command, a dialog appears letting you specify a regular expression to search for. To specify the files to be searched, either select one of the default patterns from In Files Matching Patterns: or highlight the existing edit field and enter your own pattern. To change directories for the search, either click on Browse to invoke a browse box, or highlight the existing Starting From: edit field and enter the full path name of the proper directory.
