630041 2008-01-13 21:24:00 Hi,
I am using one software ZTreeWin v 1.60 . In this software one feature which
is very useful for me. If we select any folder and search perticular text
then it scan all the files in that folder and list all the files which has that
text.

But this software is DOS based thus not comfirtable to use.
Is there any windows GUI base software, it will be good if it is free which has this feature.

Thanks,

630043 2008-01-13 22:29:00 Is the Search facility already in Windows not suitable? :confused: B.M. (505)
630044 2008-01-13 23:12:00 I have used Search & Replace for years, registered it about 12 years ago and it is still going great. There is more recent versions available I am sure.

Set it to search a word or part word and it can search a Document, Folder, HDD or DVD and it will look inside zip's, rar's etc. Great little program.

It is similar to Grep in Linux.

The search facility in Windows just plain sux.

Personal opinion - No. I would never use the search facility in windows unless I had no choice.

630047 2008-01-14 00:26:00 Thanks all for reply,

I think Windows Grep is the one, I am looking for.

ZTreeWin (http://www . ztree . com/) is not DOS based . Why do you think it is? :confused:

One of our members, Billy T, uses ZTreeWin and migrated to it after using XTree, which definitely is DOS based .

630049 2008-01-14 08:26:00 Sorry, DOS based means, we can't use mouse. And for any action we have
to write command. Thus not confirtable to use.
If Billy got the newer version which has all those things then please let me
know.

Thanks,
