Comments and Reviews
Textpipe in any of its versions looks an awful lot like a grep utility to me.
Textpipe has grep like functionality, but overall is far more sophisticated tool with a feature set that goes beyond that little similarity. You may do much of the work in scripts if you so desire, but you will be more productive with textpipe.
