This is grep++ right?<p>My guess is that it's aimed more at the humanities. Hence the GUI. My experience: in the world of humanities text analysis, there are just a ton of Java programs which were funded by some academic grant. Mostly they are closed source, not updated, might have a horrible GUI, and the website is always written in 8 point font.... Don't hate them for what they are....
reminds me a bit of klogg <a href="https://github.com/variar/klogg">https://github.com/variar/klogg</a> which is more for log files and based off glogg which went dead. it has nice filtering and highlighting type stuff. It's great for live views of log files.
Marginally related, but this is one of the things I'm bullish on ChatGPT for. Too frequently, I've gotten hundreds of lines of malformed textual data that I need to standardize. This is like impossible with REGEX but I can drop it into GPT and it does this wonderfully.
