epubgrep

epubgrep is a search tool for EPUB e-books. It does not operate on lines, but on whole files. All newlines will be replaced by spaces and HTML will be stripped. This means you can search for text spanning multiple lines and dont have to worry about HTML tags in the text.

epubgrep is licensed under the AGPL-3.0-only. The bundled Termcolor is licensed under the BSD-3-Clause license.

Usage

Screenshot of epubgrep, showing the output of 2 book searches.

See man page for more information.

If you are using Debian or Ubuntu, or a distribution that is derived from these, you can run cpack -G DEB in the build directory to generate a .deb-file. You can then install it with apt install ./epubgrep-*.deb.

  • -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug for a debug build.

  • -DWITH_TESTS=YES if you want to compile the tests.

  • -DXGETTEXT_CMD=String The program to use instead of xgettext.

  • -DFALLBACK_BUNDLED=NO if you dont want to fall back on bundled libraries.
