grep is a more user friendly interface for DeepSearch. It takes exactly the same arguments as DeepSearch. And it works just like grep in linux shell!

Examples

Importing

>>> from deepdiff import grep
>>> from pprint import pprint

Search in list for string

>>> obj = ["long somewhere", "string", 0, "somewhere great!"]
>>> item = "somewhere"
>>> ds = obj | grep(item)
>>> print(ds)
{'matched_values': {'root[3]', 'root[0]'}

Search in nested data for string

>>> obj = ["something somewhere", {"long": "somewhere", "string": 2, 0: 0, "somewhere": "around"}]
>>> item = "somewhere"
>>> ds = obj | grep(item, verbose_level=2)
>>> pprint(ds, indent=2)
{ 'matched_paths': {"root[1]['somewhere']": 'around'},
  'matched_values': { 'root[0]': 'something somewhere',
                      "root[1]['long']": 'somewhere'}}
