PowerGREP

Post by Snake Man »

PowerGREP is windows grep software to search (and replace) through files and directories.

PowerGREP homepage.

I have been using this tool for a long time, I remember the times I edited OFP mission.sqm and .sqs files to replace BIS classnames with JAM classnames and so on.

PowerGREP also works as powerful search tool alone, just click a root dir and tick search sub directories and off you go. I find PowerGREP more easier to search stuff than UltraEdit which I also used before.

So if you have any search and replace work for several files, this is the tool for that use.

This appears to do something similar, but cheaper.

(Edit because I forgot the link. Also, this is basically portable, too, if extract the installer.)

Did you get the $150 version of PowerGREP?

I'm using the Open Source program SourceGlob as the grep tool under windows. And it's much cheaper... :lol:
