Abstract : Sgrep (structured grep) is a tool for searching text files and
filtering text streams for structured criteria. Sgrep implements
a query language based on so called region expressions.
Like grep, sgrep can be used for any kind of text
files. However it
is most useful for text files containing some kind of structured text.
A file containing structured text could be defined as a file, which
obeys some syntax. Examples of structured text files are
SGML, HTML, C, Tex
and mail files.

Additional_Info : From the announcement (where from?):
If you have ever wondered how to:
o Locate only TITLE and H1 .. H9 elements from HTML documents
o Remove all tags from an HTML document
o Rename all B elements to STRONG elements
o Find
out how many FIG elements there are under SUBPARA
elements but not under PARA elements in your SGML file
o Print out the TITLE elements from a set of HTML documents
in which word 'SGML' is mentioned more than 12 times, or
which contain word SGML inside H1 or H2 @ ÉÜelements.
o Find out mail senders of mail messages from a set of mail
files, which contain word 'SGML' in the subject line, do
not contain 'HTML' in the body of the mail, are sent in
year
1996 and are not sent from address flame@hot.com
then sgrep is a tool for you.
