************************************************************************ Find++ Version 2.3 Copyright© 1996-1998, Pravin Paul. A Multi-File Search and Replace Utility for Windows 3.1x ************************************************************************ Brief Description of Find++ 2.3 ------------------------------- Find++ is a useful Windows shareware utility that gives you a powerful and friendly tool to find files having a common text. It has been designed for Windows 3.1x but can run on Windows 95 and Windows NT as well. It's powerful user interface helps you quickly change all the occurrences of a specified text in your files. Full context-sensitive help and a small tutorial helps you grasp its user-interface quickly. Search by specifying multiple file names with or without wild-cards or just drag-drop files from the File Manager. You can search for files up to a specified sub-directory depth for each file name specification. By restricting search to a specified level you can fine-tune searches through large media like CD-ROMS. You can search for a case-sensitive, whole word or regular expression match. Find++'s regular expressions are similar to those in MS Word 6.0 and easy to master. You can also specify file modification dates and minimum and maximum file sizes. Files matching your search criteria are listed with their full file infos. You can search again through the listed files with different search criteria to narrow your search even further. Sort the listed files using the file name, size or date as the sort key within or across directories. Rename, delete, copy or move selected files. Open a file in an edit window along with a numbered line list of the lines in the file containing the search text. Double-clicking a line in the line list scrolls the edit window to bring the context of that line in the file into view. Use Find++'s regular expressions for searching text within a file. The powerful search and replace command can replace all occurrences of a specified text in a file or even in all the listed files. Optionally, you can use your favorite editor or associated program to view the file. Find++ is similar in concept to the Windows 95 File Finder Find++. But Find++ can use regular expressions for its search and comes with a powerful text editor with an associated line list for you edit the listed files with speed. Use Find++ to search and replace common text like variable names in your programs, or for searching old forgotten files with regular expressions. Find++ is yours for $16 only.
