Does anyone have a tool that can do "grep like" searches on a folder of text docs from windows explorer?
Right click shelling out and using the FIND command is what I've resorted to so far. =(

- GordonS 6y agoIf you want a GUI tool, I like GrepWin[0] - you can have it install an Explorer context menu item, right click, hit GrepWin, then you can search. Supports simple text searches as well as regex. You can filter by filesize too. Been using this for years, really useful tool. On the command line, I just use grep (a cygwin version of it, installed with Git for Windows, I think). [0] https://tools.stefankueng.com/grepWin.html https://tools.stefankueng.com/grepWin.html
