68 **What it does**
69
70 This tool runs the unix **grep** command on the selected data file.
71
72 .. class:: infomark
73
74 **TIP:** This tool uses the **perl** regular expression syntax (same as running 'grep -P'). This is **NOT** the POSIX or POSIX-extended syntax (unlike the awk/sed tools).

85 **Grep Examples**
86
87 - **AGC.AAT** would match lines with AGC followed by any character, followed by AAT (e.g. **AGCQAAT**, **AGCPAAT**, **AGCwAAT**)
88 - **C{2,5}AGC** would match lines with 2 to 5 consecutive Cs followed by AGC
89 - **TTT.{4,10}AAA** would match lines with 3 Ts, followed by 4 to 10 characters (any characeters), followed by 3 As.
90 - **^chr([0-9A-Za-z])+** would match lines that begin with chromsomes, such as lines in a BED format file.
91 - **(ACGT){1,5}** would match at least 1 "ACGT" and at most 5 "ACGT" consecutively.
92 - **hsa|mmu** would match lines containing "hsa" or "mmu" (or both).

96 **Regular Expression Syntax**
97
98 The select tool searches the data for lines containing or not containing a match to the given pattern. A Regular Expression is a pattern descibing a certain amount of text.
99
100 - **( ) { } [ ] . * ? + \ ^ $** are all special characters. **\\** can be used to "escape" a special character, allowing that special character to be searched for.
101 - **^** matches the beginning of a string(but not an internal line).
102 - **\\d** matches a digit, same as [0-9].
103 - **\\D** matches a non-digit.
104 - **\\s** matches a whitespace character.
105 - **\\S** matches anything BUT a whitespace.
106 - **\\t** matches a tab.
107 - **\\w** matches an alphanumeric character ( A to Z, 0 to 9 and underscore )
108 - **\\W** matches anything but an alphanumeric character.
109 - **(** .. **)** groups a particular pattern.
110 - **\\Z** matches the end of a string(but not a internal line).
111 - **{** n or n, or n,m **}** specifies an expected number of repetitions of the preceding pattern.
112
113 - **{n}** The preceding item is matched exactly n times.
114 - **{n,}** The preceding item ismatched n or more times.
115 - **{n,m}** The preceding item is matched at least n times but not more than m times.
116
117 - **[** ... **]** creates a character class. Within the brackets, single characters can be placed. A dash (-) may be used to indicate a range such as **a-z**.
118 - **.** Matches any single character except a newline.
119 - ***** The preceding item will be matched zero or more times.
120 - **?** The preceding item is optional and matched at most once.
121 - **+** The preceding item will be matched one or more times.
122 - **^** has two meaning:
123 - matches the beginning of a line or string.
124 - indicates negation in a character class. For example, [^...] matches every character except the ones inside brackets.
125 - **$** matches the end of a line or string.
126 - **\|** Separates alternate possibilities.
