- Brief Description of Find++ v2.61
- ----------------------------------
- Find++ is a useful Windows 95/98/NT shareware utility that gives you a
- powerful and friendly tool to find files having a common text across
- directories and drives. 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. Long file names are
- supported. 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 info's.
-
- Do recursive searches through the listed files with different search
- criteria to narrow your search even further. Recursive searches can
- help you find word combinations with spaces.
-
- Sort the listed files using the file name, size or date as the sort
- key within or across directories. Rename multiple files using
- wildcards and special characters. Delete, copy, move or zip
- 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. The text contained in
- these lines are highlighted both in the edit window and in the line
- list. Double-clicking a line in the line list scrolls the edit
- window to bring the context of that line in the file into view. In
- version 2.61 you can edit files upto 2 GB.
-
- The internal editor has a powerful Find/Replace dialog which you
- can use to replace text in multiple files. In version 2.61 you can
- confirm every replace or replace all at once in all the files.
- File save after replace can be confirmed for every file or
- optionally after all text in all the files have been replaced.
-
- Optionally, you can use your favorite editor or associated
- program to view the file.
-
- Use Find++ to search and replace common text like variable names
- in your programs files with regular expressions. It is also most
- useful for editing web site html files as they often have common
- text that needs to be regularly updated.
-
- Find++ version 2.6 is one of SoftSeek shareware site's Top download and
- an Editor's Pick in the Text Search and Replace category.
