Search 3.2

Search will find the particulat text you need. Do you need to find files that contain a particular word? Or do you want to make sure that all calls to FindFirst are followed by a FindClose? Well Search can help you with this problem and much more. Simply enter a starting directory, a list of file names (containing wildcards if you wish,) the text string(s) to search for (or regular expressions) and whether you want to find either string, both strings, or the first string and not the second, then press Search.
Search will show you all the names of the files that match, along with the matched lines from each file. Then you can open the matched files or drag them to another application, see the files properties, or copy them to the clipboard.
Note: Search is primarily intended as a programmers tool, and can only operate correctly on text files. These are sometimes known as flat files because they do not contain any text formatting information
Main features:
- Allows you to search for logical combinations (AND, OR or AND NOT) of up to two search strings.
- Can search using regular expressions.
- You can optionally see the lines from the files that matched the search criteria.
- You can find all files that match a wildcard file specification simply by omitting the search strings.
- You can search within the results of a previous search, to "home-in" to the files of interest.
- You can see the results of a previous search via the history button.
- It can optionally recurse through subdirectories.
- Remembers your previous search criteria, so you dont have to keep re-entering information that you use frequently.
- You can easily edit a file from the result list, using the internal editor, an editor of your choice, or any application associated with that type of file. You can also drag files to another application.
- The names of the matched files can be easily copied to the Windows clipboard or saved to a text file.
- It can appear in the tool tray so that it is always ready for immediate use.
