## For Users

### Elevator pitch

Do you wish GroupMe had a search function? Me too. That's why I wrote GrepMe,
a command line search tool for GroupMe that's featureful and easy to use.

### Installing

1. `pip install grepme`
2. Create your login token on https://dev.groupme.com/applications -> Create Application
None of the info there is used in grepme, you can give garbage values.
3. Run grepme. You should be prompted for your login token.

If you type your token wrong, you can use `-D` and grepme will prompt you again,
e.g. `grepme -D some_text`

### Examples

- Search case-insensitive for 'school': `grepme -i school`
- Show every message from every group you're in: `grepme '.*'`
- Search in a specific group: `grepme --group USCCyber api`
- Filter by date: `grepme -d '.*' | grep 2018`
- Search by user: `grepme -u Joshua '.*'`
- Show all available groups: `grepme -l`
- Show version: `grepme -V`
- Show messages newer than 1 week: `grepme --json '.*' | jq -r "select(.created_at > $(date -d '1 week ago' +%s)) | .text"`
- Show at most 10 messages: `grepme --json '.*' | head -n 10 | jq -r '.name, .text'`

### See it in action

```
$ grepme -i swear --group 'ACM$'
Huиter Damroи: I work in the IBM building but I can meet you at Swearingen or anywhere.
Matthew Clapp: Is anybody in Swearingen?
ℬℜΔƉѰ: Can someone confirm that the Airport monitors in Swearingen have a Code-a-thon announcement?
Justin Baum: Hey does anyone know who I should email so my Carolina Card can get me into Swearingen?
^C
```

### Configuration

GrepMe uses [configparse](https://github.com/jyn514/configparse) for configuration,
see its documentation for details. For example, I use the following configuration
in `~/.config/grepme.toml`, which searches only in 'ACM' by default:

```toml
group = "^ACM$"
```

### Full usage

```
