ssgrep - search spreadsheets for strings
ssgrep [OPTIONS] [FILES]
This manual page briefly documents the ssgrep command.
ssgrep is a command line utility to search for strings in spreadsheets of any format supported by gnumeric. Without any output modifying options, ssgrep prints one line for each match. A match consists of the matching content of a cell or, if the -R option is given, the matching expression result of a cell.
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with single letter options starting with a single dash (`-') and longer options starting with two dashes (`--').
To search for the string "SUM" in the file foo.gnumeric :
ssgrep SUM foo.gnumeric
To search for the strings from the file keywords in the spreadsheet foo.xls :
ssgrep --keyword-file=keywords foo.xls
