Sgrep (sorted grep) is a much faster alternative to traditional Unix grep when searching large files, because sgrep searches sorted input files using a fast binary search to find matching lines.

The findstr is searching the words in the text and binary files in several codepages. The famouse 'grep' is very slow and get a lot memory for large binary files without ends of lines - findstr is fast and light, but it doesn't use regular expressions.

Scat is a powerful and useful tool to print out files content either as a raw text or hexdump (hexadecimal dump). It also has wide set of options to manipulate an output, which makes scat useful with cascade piping (like find | scat | grep) or debugging

filterif filters lines of text from standard input to standard output. In simple terms, think of it as the reverse of grep. filterif is case sensitive.

Just another Simple static analysis tool to find bugs like a grep unix command, at mosca have a modules, that was call egg, each egg is a simple config to find bug at especific language like PHP,Ruby,ASP etc... Example of egg config at directory "egg", If Mosca read a line with vunerability of egg in source code, then, mosca have alert about vulnerability and save at logs. *why static ? because is not dynamic... uses static code to search... don't confuse with academic views hahaha this program use simple regex with PCRE... https://github.com/CoolerVoid/Mosca

bingrep is a small binary version of grep, scanning binary files for a given pattern. Along a match it can display surrounding data as an hexdump of arbitrary size. It is capable to scan more than 4GB.

binreplace is a command line tool to search and replace binary sequences in a file. It can be very powerful when used together with grep and sed. It uses prefix tree internally to search. It's efficient even with millions of search terms.

cgrep provides many of the features of grep, egrep, and fgrep with greatly enhanced performance along with many additional features, one of which is the ability to output the context (surrounding lines) of the matching lines.

filterin filters lines of text from standard input to standard output. In simple terms, think of it as the reverse of grep. filterin is case insensitive.

IPGREP is a command line tool to grep IP packets out of PCAP files. It provides basic filter for IP version and IP addresses. It is written in pure C without LIBPCAP, so it should run faster.

tacg - a fast cmd line app in ANSI C for pattern matching and analysis of nucleic acids and protein.

Finddupe is a VERY FAST command line C program to catalog very large archives, identifying duplicate files even when offline. It has many features. You can easily grep a catalog to find what you have, and locate where it is.
