NAME

   ssgrep - search spreadsheets for strings

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

   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.
