The name, "grep", derives from the command used to perform a similar operation, using the Unix text editor ed:
g/re/p
which means "search globally for lines matching the regular expression, and print them".

the truth is much more geeky than even that :The name, "grep", derives from the command used to perform a similar operation, using the Unix text editor ed:
g/re/p

personally I always wished Unix has a grok command to with all the other goodies (grep, sed and of course my fave - awk)
