Re: Word in file search utility, DOS
I never saw such a thing, as you describe it, but I wrote a somewhat limited version for my own use, which I still use.
This works on text files ONLY, in the current directory. It's looking for all 'hits' of a specified word. I use it mainly for following variables, keywords, etc in modules of source code. The prog defaults to *.c, but other things can be added to the command line like *.prg or *.txt, *.htm etc.
The result is put to a file, comprising a header for each filename, then line number and (part) of the full text of the line.
It's a DOS prog, so it's 8.3 filenames only. This has been causing me some trouble recently, so maybe I should change it?
Any help?
