    It’s a command line tool which filters for all lines containing the query. So something like

    cat log.txt | grep Error5

    Would output only lines containing Error5

        In the back of my mind I know this is there, but the cat | grep pattern is just muscle memory at this point

          I’ve been ‘told off’ so many times by the internet for my cat and grep combos that I still do it, then I remove the cat, it still works, and I feel better. shrug
