Execute a grep command to search text for one or more patterns. Patterns may be in a form similar to Unix glob patterns (basic regular expressions), or by using the -E option, using extended regular expressions. For PCRE style pattern searches, using bBox_JavaScript function may be the best option.

For more details, use man grep in the Terminal.
