Query regarding grep!!

[Nick Vatamaniuc]

Of course you can always use grep as an external process (if the OS has
it). For example:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
In [1]: import subprocess

In [2]: out=subprocess.Popen( 'grep -i blah ./tmp/*',
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True ).communicate()[0]

In [3]: out
Out[3]: './tmp/ex.tex:Blah blah blah...\n'
-------------------------------------------------------------------
