Grep is used for many things in programming - it is a major posix Unix command for example. I don't think it is wise to forward Grep to this task. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 12:56, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

==Overhauled task==

I've completely rewritten the task description. It should be of much higher quality now, without invalidating existing solutions much (and I've added notice templates where solutions do need updating). I've also renamed the page from "'''Array search'''" to "'''Search a list of records'''", to better represent what it is about and to make it consistent with the existing [[Search a list]] task.<br>
I think in this form it's ready to be taken out of draft status, but I'll wait a while to see if people have any objections, or issues while updating to the new task description.<br>
