NAME

faqgrep - perl script to search perlfaqs


SYNOPSIS

   faqgrep [-f] [-or] [keywords...]
   faqgrep sort hash
   faqgrep -or sort hash
   faqgrep -f sort array


DESCRIPTION

This script takes keywords as arguments and searches through the perlfaqs printing on STDOUT the questions (and optionally the answers) which contain the keywords.

-or
By default, keywords are 'ANDed' together to find questions which contain ALL of the keywords. Using the -or option 'ORs' together the keywords to find questions which contain ANY of the keywords.

-f
By default only the matching questions are printed. Using this option causes the full entry (answer) of all matching questions to be printed. This can cause a lot of output unless the search was restricted. It is recommended that you first search for just one or two keywords and see the resulting matches and then repeat the search using -f and additional keywords to restrict output to just those entries you wish to see.
