Search and Find text in files within folders.

AlexP

I was wondering if anyone of you, knows a program that searches for words or phrases within files. Better something that helps to find and replace words and phrases in files.

From what I know the build in search facility in windows doesn;'t work for PHP files.

If you know, something please let me know.

Thank you

Alex

Thank you.

Eriksmoen, the script is a bit of old-dated, and on version 1.0 which could be a real headaque in terms of bugs and malfunction.

I will probably use Hand's solution at this point until I find a proper program.

Thanks.
