# rgrep
> Recursively find patterns in files using regular expressions.
> Equivalent to `grep -r`.
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/manual/grep.html>.
- Recursively search for a pattern in the current working directory:
`rgrep "{{search_pattern}}"`
- Recursively search for a case-insensitive pattern in the current working directory:
`rgrep --ignore-case "{{search_pattern}}"`
- Recursively search for an extended regular expression pattern (supports `?`, `+`, `{}`, `()` and `|`) in the current working directory:
`rgrep --extended-regexp "{{search_pattern}}"`
- Recursively search for an exact string (disables regular expressions) in the current working directory:
`rgrep --fixed-strings "{{exact_string}}"`
- Recursively search for a pattern in a specified directory (or file):
`rgrep "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file_or_directory}}`
