A nice property of grep is that it's fast. I'd like to know how this compares on the speed front

- agentultra 15y agoProbably not even close. (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2010-August/019310.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2010-Augu...) grep/sed/awk are highly specialized programs optimized to do one thing very well. A tool like this one might pick for reasons other than performance perhaps (maybe you're a Ruby programmer and can't grok grep/sed/awk?)
- cma 15y agoMost people these days have a utf8 locale; basically nothing from that email applies when that is the case, and grep runs much slower.
