NAME

       ssgrep - search spreadsheets for strings

SYNOPSIS

       ssgrep  [OPTIONS] [FILES]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page briefly documents the ssgrep command.

       ssgrep  is  a  command  line  utility  to search for strings in spreadsheets of any format
       supported by gnumeric. Without any output modifying options, ssgrep prints  one  line  for
       each  match.  A  match  consists of the matching content of a cell or, if the -R option is
       given, the matching expression result of a cell.

OPTIONS
