gram_grep

Search text using a grammar, lexer, or straight regex. Chain searches for greater refinement.

See http://benhanson.net/gram_grep.html for examples.

To build:

gram_grep now has a dependency on boost::regex due to the std version having an outdated version of the egrep syntax.

• See here to download boost.

To build boost on Windows

From the boost root directory:

.\bootstrap.bat
.\b2

To build boost on Linux/UNIX Variants

See here.
