# Filename: grep.py
# Author: Ian N. Schenck
# Version: 8/23/2005
#
# This script accepts regular expressions, as well as an "invert"
# option, and applies the regular expression using grep.  This wrapper
# provides security and pipeline.
#
# Grep is launched based on these inputs:
# -i		Input file
# -o		Output file
# -pattern	RegEx pattern
# -v	        true or false (output NON-matching lines)
