- I am working on an UNIX-based application (running on HP 400 and 700
- series workstations) that will among other things allow a user to
- search a large number of text files for a string. We had planned
- to parse grep output for the needed search result information,
- but grep is just too slow.
-
- What we are looking for is a text search program (commercial or
- shared) that we can call from within our application. Does anyone
- out there have any experience with UNIX searching software? I
- would just like to get an idea of what is out there and then follow
- up on any interesting leads.
-
- If you can help, please email cmpsg03@nt.com.

- Thanks...Phil
