Reviewed by Daniel Nikulshyn·Updated July 2026

Overview

Grep (Grade A) is a development skill specifically designed for security-testing purposes in conjunction with Claude AI. It performs full-text search over the contents of indexed sources ADVPL, leveraging SQLite and FTS5. This approach makes it a more cost-effective alternative to the Grep tool provided by Claude. Grep can be used to search for patterns in source files, with options to perform full-text searches, literal substring searches, or identifier searches within ADVPL. The tool can be executed with various flags, including --fts for full-text search, --literal for substring search, and --identifier to avoid false positives. When run, Grep provides a snippet with highlighted matches for each hit, along with the file and line number information. For multi-term queries, FTS5 allows for efficient boolean logic operations, while also enabling search results to be ordered by relevance.

Use cases

Searching for a specific term in ADVPL source files

Use /plugadvpl:grep 'TCQuery' to find where 'TCQuery' appears in the source files using FTS.

Finding exact substrings in source code

Use /plugadvpl:grep 'RecLock' --literal to search for the exact substring 'RecLock'.

Identifying specific identifiers in ADVPL code

Use /plugadvpl:grep 'U_PLUG001' --identifier to search for the identifier 'U_PLUG001' while avoiding false positives.

Q&A

What are the prerequisites for using Grep in a project?

Before using Grep, you must ingest your project data with the /plugadvpl:ingest command to index the ADVPL source files; otherwise, the tool will have no data to search.
