tip: better grepping with fpg

[Ulli Horlacher <framstag@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do all my editing with jed, also my programming. I am an addicted CLI
user and hate bloatware IDEs. I often use (r)grep to search in my source
files, eg: rgrep -h $PATTERN *

But in this case rgrep also looks in the backup~ files, which gives too
much unneccessary output and (r)grep has no exclusion option "do not look
in files with ~ at end of filename or starting with #".

Second, I get confused by different regex sets from perl, *grep, jed, awk,
sed etc.

Therefore I have programmed my own grep in perl: fpg

With fpg backup files are excluded by default, Example:

fex@fex:~/fexdev/cgi-bin: fpg open.*akey *
fpg: ignoring foc~ fop~ fuc~ fup~ fur~ mua~ rup~ sex~ wua~ xxx~

foc:
    if (open $akey,"$akeydir/$ra:$akey/@" and $id = <$akey>) {

fuc:
    if (open $akey,"$akeydir/$ra:$akey/@" and $id = <$akey>) {

fup:
    if (open $idf,"$akeydir/$ra:$akey/@" and $id = <$idf>) {

rup:
    if (open $akey,"$akeydir/$ra:$akey/@" and $id = <$akey>) {
