TextAnalysisTool.Net alternative in GNU/Linux

TextAnalysisTool.Net alternative in GNU/Linux

TextAnalysisTool.Net is a great tool that can filter text line by line with some keywords, by a GUI interface. The greatest part is that you can setup different colors for different keywords. When you want to analyze log with different keywords, that would be very helpful and friendly. But can not find a GNU/Linux alternative, quite bothers me. Though I can use 'grep' and with different colors for keywords, that command line can be very long and tedious. So, I made a python script to do the same thing, which also is made by reusing 'grep', but with a friendly syntax.

Example:


See, for different keyword, it has different color to distinguish. with very simple syntax.

It can be downloaded here, I hope someone can help also:

But now it's only with command line version, no GUI support.

I have made a c++ version, hope you like it. https://github.com/Ning-Zhou/LogAnalysisToolCPP

But you need to include boost regex library, and also Qt 5.0 to build.  I use Qt 5.0 because I will make a GUI version with Qt, so I am using the unit test framework of Qt now.
