Why not... grep -R -n ... and it's other options...?

Why rewrite as a 100+ lines of bash with multiple program invocations?

yeah, it is indeed! i just been thinkering about it, and i just got an idea to try another way to do it, and maybe package for people who aren't familiar with shell commands.

Someone unfamiliar with shell commands will likely have just as much difficulty finding, installing, and using your script/package.
