hgrep

Search Haskell source code from the command line.

Powered by ghc-exactprint.

Usage

$> hgrep
Usage: hgrep [-e|--regex] EXPRESSION [FILE]

hgrep requires an expression and a set of files to search across.

An expression can be one of

  • The name of a type, e.g. FooBar
  • The name of an expression, e.g. foo
  • A regular expression (via the -e flag), e.g. -e Foo$

Each file will be parsed and searched. Results will be printed to the console, with syntax highlighting where possible.
