Explorer does that one. Hehe. Just press F3 for search. This will ofcourse only work on a Windows system.<br /><br />Have a nice day <img border="0" alt="[Bounce]" title="" src="graemlins/bounce.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/ouch.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Hi]" title="" src="graemlins/hi.gif" />

If you have the files on your HD I think ultra edit will find the text for you.

MikeG, the find program that is part of windows CAN find text IN a document. <br /><br />On Win98 open up find, and then click on the "Advanced" tab. It may be different on<br />other versions of windows.

If you're on a *nix system, the 'grep' command is probably all that you need.

As for the comment about Windows, just go:<br /><br />Start, Find, Files or Folders, Containing Text.<br /><br />Works in Win98 anyway.
