Gtk2 Visual Grep

[zentara]

Category:

GUI Programming

Description:

This is a visual grep written using Perl/Gtk2. It uses File::Find to search for keywords, then displays results for easy "copy&pasting". I use it as a snippet browser, when I'm looking for code snippets in my library, but only remember a keyword to search for. Here is a screenshot The theme I'm using is at Z-theme

UpDATED: Jan20,2006 A small bugfix and code cleanup

Updated Jun 27,2012 Added unicode character support with the utf8::all module. Comment out these changes if you run into difficulties with too many utf8 errors. I also added a decode routine for input strings on the commandline. I havn't tested this extensively yet, but you should be able to pass in a unicode string as ARGV[0] and search for it. Also added -CS perlrun options. For instance you should now be able to run vgrep 'the œ character' and it should decode œ properly. Also I added a hack to the File::Find sub to find filenames with extended characters in them. So vgrep n zzœzz will find a file with that extended character string in its filename.

Updated again: Jun30, 2012. I cleaned up decoding of @ARGV, so that all inputs are decoded to unicode. I also fixed a little bug where filenames were being double-decoded as unicode and throwing a warning.

Updated again: Jul 01, 2012. This is becoming a little tutorial in unicode hacking. :-) Anyways, this update fixes an obscure bug with the interaction of Gtk2 and utf8::all. It all centers around why I needed to still manually decode @ARGV, even though the utf8::all module does this. As it turns out, from just experimentation, is that the use utf8::all line must come AFTER the GTk2 module declarations. WHY? Don't know. The result of this change allows me to remove the manual decoding of @ARGV, as well as the removal of the -CS perlrun option. This bug was finally fixed in the Glib source code.

Updated 27 Feb 2013: Fixed a small bug where binaries, like pdf's, were not found while doing a name search.

# Will open with no options or search string, in empty mode.


# Found files, will be displayed as blue underlined hyperlinks.
# Under each link, will be the line numbers and matched lines. 
# Clicking blue links will open the file, and all matched lines will
# be displayed in red text.

#  Control-c from anywhere will kill the program.
#  SpaceBar cancels a long search

#  Multi-word search strings on the command line should be
#  single quoted.
#  Search strings entered in the entry box, do not need quotes  
#  and will be submitted by an enter keypress, or the find button.

#  The line numbering can be turned off for copying and pasting from
#  the opened files. A right click in the lower textbox, will open
#  the textbox menu for Copying to the Clipboard for pasting with
#  the paste options from other apps (Control-v). Otherwise, the selec
+ted
#  text is only in the mouse clipboard buffer.

Hi,
great, thanks zentara++ !
Added it to my standard tools!

Hi, I fixed a small bug which locks up the search when entering empty search strings; plus removed some useless subs. Please download again.

Hi,
thanks again. The following patch adds capability of searching with regexes (I get some utf8 errors, but it works. Do you happen to know how to fix them?):

Indeed, a nice tool!

As I am planning to use it intensively...

Here is a more friendlier-polished version!

This version accepts a final argument of a directory to search. It displays it as the title of the windows. The windows, takes the focus at the begining.

Besides some insignificant details, it has an improved help message. And better colors.

This good code, has also helped me a lot to practice with Gtk2.

Zentara rules!

No. Zentara drools. :-) Nice color improvements.

[maxudit007]

Hello people, This is a nice code, but can anyone help me in the following: I am using perl-gtk2 and glade3 for my development, I want to search the specified lines from a text file and than I have to do is to send the found text as an entry in the combo box. So, anyone can help me! Thanks in advance

[zentara]

I updated this code to search for strings and filenames with unicode characters in them, see the original node Gtk2 Visual Grep for the changes. It seems to work with extended characters in filenames, and searching files for strings with extended characters. Such as vgrep 'the œ character' and vgrep n zzœzz

Any comments for improving the unicode handling is welcome. :-) Especially in the File::Find sub, where I decode each filename. It seems it should be easier than that, but I guess it does catch everything.
