GREP UTILITIES overcomes the limitations of the DOS wildcard expressions
in matching files. They provide more power and flexibility with
UNIX-like file searches, moves, and copies not possible with normal DOS.
No longer are you limited to wildcards * and ?, now any number of letter
and number combinations can be specified with ranges to search.
Here are examples of GREP wildcard expressions: "A[0-9]+Z" matches all
files starting with an "A", followed by a string of one or more digits,
and then a "Z", such as A0Z.PAS, or A99Z.MAP. You can also do "negative
searches" such as finding all files that don't start with the letter
"A."
Organizing files is made easier with GREP commands that search files
using GREP wildcard expressions: "Grep Delete" uses a regular
expression to select files for deletion. "Grep Grep" searches specified
files for a text string. "Grep Move" is similar to Grep Copy, except
that if the files are on the same drive, the file is not copied, but its
directory entry is modified so that it is moved to the new subdirectory.
"Grep Whereis" uses a regular expression to search for matching files
in all subdirectories of the specified drive, or all drives. It
includes an option to delete the files as they are matched. The GREP
UTILITIES always prompt the user before overwriting or deleting an
existing file, unless directed not to do so. Bundled with GREP
UTILITIES are environment and path editors, and "Which.exe," a program
that identifies executable files in the path.

Here are examples of GREP wildcard expressions: "A[0-9]+Z" matches all
files starting with an `A', followed by a string of one or more digits,
and then a `Z', such as A0Z.PAS, or A99Z.MAP. You can also do "negative
searches" such as finding all files that DON'T start with a the letter
`A.'

The Grep Utilities can be set to always prompt the user before
overwriting or deleting an existing file.
