What is "grep"?

[AmbitiousWench]

OK, I'm seeing lots of references to 'grep' when I scan this BB, and sometimes while perusing the help files. yeah, yeah, rtfm, you say. *WHAT* fm? I understand it's a command, but I don't wanna try it until I understand what it does. anyboy out there got a link to a good article on what grep does?
