DESCRIPTION

14       This manual page briefly documents the ssgrep command.
15
16       ssgrep  is a command line utility to search for strings in spreadsheets
17       of any format supported  by  gnumeric.  Without  any  output  modifying
18       options, ssgrep prints one line for each match. A match consists of the
19       matching content of a cell or, if the -R option is given, the  matching
20       expression result of a cell.
