SYNOPSIS

        base_tool_grep.pl

DESCRIPTION

This script accepts: 0. relative path in the baseline 1. regular expression to search for in the files content. 2. regular expression for names of files to be searched (*.nw,*.cc,*.java,*.pl,*.pm etc...). 3. type of image to take as baseline. Three options are available: a. change: search only my change. b. project: search the current baseline. c. source: search my image of the baseline (meaning the baseline as it is overriden by my change). This is the default. The idea is to be able to quickly and efficiently do massive editing jobs on your entire source code usually from your changed point of view. You can do various things with this script: 1. checkout multiple files from the baseline. 2. replace regular expressions on multiple files. 3. checkout and replace (1+2). 4. just print which files match. 5. run an editor on all matched files. 6. checkout and run an editor on all matched files (1+5). You can actually use aefind which is supplied with Aegis to do finds instead of this script (this is quite a new feature from Peter Miller).
