#Linux search for text in files mp4#

For some file types, external programs are used to do the actual work, for example using ffmpeg to read subtitles from mkv or mp4 files, pandoc to convert documents like EPUB, ODT, DOCX, FB2 or IPYNB to plain markdown-like text, and grip and tar to read archive contents.Д«esides being able to search text in documents, archives and in subtitles embedded in mkv or mp4 files, rga can also search for text in JPG or PNG images, or scanned PDF files, using OCR (with the use of tesseract). Rga uses ripgrep (rg) to do the searching, with some options set. The cache can be disabled if you wish though, by using -rga-no-cache. On subsequent runs though, it's even faster (like it was searching through plain text files) thanks to caching. Rga is great when you want to search for some text from a file available in a folder with many documents of various file types, even if some of them are available in archives.ДЄnd it's fast too, even from the first run, thanks to multithreading. It's a wrapper for ripgrep, the line-oriented recursive search program, on top of which it enables search in a multitude of file types like PDF, DOCX, ODT, EPUB, SQLite databases, movies subtitles embedded in MKV or MP4 files, archives like ZIP or GZ, and more. RgaВ (or ripgrep-all) is a command line tool to recursively search all files in a directory for a regex pattern, that runs on Linux, macOS and Windows.
