SYNOPSIS

6       SVK::Log::Filter::Grep - search log messages for a given pattern
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The Grep filter requires a single Perl pattern (regular expression) as
10       its argument.  The pattern is then applied to the svn:log property of
11       each revision it receives.  If the pattern matches, the revision is
12       allowed to continue down the pipeline.  If the pattern fails to match,
13       the pipeline immediately skips to the next revision.
14
15       The pattern is applied with the /i modifier (case insensitivity).  If
16       you want case-sensitivity or other modifications to the behavior of
17       your pattern, you must use the "(?imsx-imsx)" extended pattern (see
18       "perldoc perlre" for details).  For example, to search for log messages
19       that match exactly the characters "foo" you might use
20
21           svk log --filter "grep (?-i)foo"
22
23       However, to search for "foo" without regards for case, one might try
24
25           svk log --filter "grep foo"
26
27       The result of any capturing parentheses inside the pattern are not
28       available.  If demand dictates, the Grep filter could be modified to
29       place the captured value somewhere in the stash for other filters to
30       access.
31
32       If the pattern contains a pipe character ('|'), it must be escaped by
33       preceding it with a '\' character.  Otherwise, the portion of the
34       pattern after the pipe character is interpreted as the name of a log
35       filter.

STASH/PROPERTY MODIFICATIONS

38       Grep leaves all properties and the stash intact.
