Grape is a small plugin that aims to provide grep-like functionality to Rails projects. It‘s what you get if you mash the words rake and grep together. Its author spends too much time on Windows machines and needs to search his .rb files without opening all of them at once in Notepad++. Usage is simple:

  rake grape q="your phrase here"

where you should replace "your phrase here" with the regexp you want to search with. You don‘t need to use delimiters (apart from quote marks if your string includes spaces) and searches are case-insensitive by default. ^ and $ match the beginning and end of a line. To get case-sensitive matching, add cs=:

  rake grape q=CamelCasePhrase cs=

Grape will tell you how many files it found and list them alphabetically, with line numbers of lines that match. It is set to look inside files with extensions:

  %w(rb rhtml rxml rjs erb haml builder rake yml yaml sql html htm xml js css txt cgi fcgi htaccess)

If you want more detail, you can ask Grape to display source code from the lines surrounding any matches it finds. To do this, just add the ‘verbose’ flag:

  rake grape q="chunky bacon" v=

You can assign a value to v, which will tell Grape how many lines of code you want to see either side of each result. Leaving v unassigned will cause Grape to print 2 lines either side (5 lines total) for each result it finds.
