# `ExAthena.Tools.Grep`
[🔗](https://github.com/udin-io/ex_athena/blob/v0.7.1/lib/ex_athena/tools/grep.ex#L1)

Search file contents with a regex under `ctx.cwd`.

Shells out to `rg` (ripgrep) when available for speed + sanity; falls back
to a pure-Elixir scan using `Path.wildcard` + `File.read` when not.

Arguments:

  * `pattern` (required) — regex.
  * `path_glob` (optional) — restrict the scan to files matching this glob.
  * `max_results` (optional, default 200) — cap on matching lines returned.
