You are essentially looking for patterns in text, your solutions looks not ideal and it takes a lot of time to develop vs just using some linux tools and piping output from one another. 10 millions line is nothing... (commenting based in your gist)

would go even further and say that you could easily have installed something like https://oracle.github.io/opengrok/ in three commands for your organization and extract a lot more value while resolving the issue.

It feels like OpenGrok should be able to do this, but I'm not seeing it. How do you search for a method call in a code path? E.g how do determine i function A calls function C? function file1.A(){file2.B();}, function file2.B(){file3.C();}

Heard back from the OpenGrok developers and they said they don't support the use case I needed. My gist was just a very small part of the overall process (and yes, for that small piece it was trivial to use a linux util instead of csharp).
