Brief Description of Find++ v2.51
----------------------------------
Find++ is a useful Windows 95 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 infos.
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. 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.
