Find++ Overview

Find++ is a Windows utility written in Visual C that gives you a powerful and friendly tool to quickly search and replace text in multiple files. Find++ lists all the files matching your search criteria. It then provides you with powerful commands with which you can quickly replace or edit all the occurrences of the specified text, saving you time and energy over conventional methods. Full context sensitive help on all Find++ topics helps you quickly grasp its simple user-friendly interface. This version is much faster than version 1.0 and bug-free too.

For a search you can specify multiple file names with or without wild-cards or you can just drag-drop files from the File Manager. You can search files in all sub-directories or up to a specified sub-directory depth. You can search for a case-sensitive, whole word or a regular expression match. You can even specify an earliest and a latest file creation date as a search criterion.

Find++ lists the files containing the search text with full file information like path, file size, and date of creation. You can sort the listed files using the file name, size or date as the sorting key and you can specify the sort to be within or across directories.

You can rename any file in the list, and delete, copy or move a selected file or all files in the list.

You can then open any of these listed files for editing. An internal editor displays the selected file contents in an edit window, and a list box lists the lines containing the search text. Double-clicking a line in this list scrolls the edit window to bring the context of that line into view for quick editing. This way, editing the search text throughout a file can be completed in the shortest possible time. The internal editor provides you with powerful editing features like a search and replace command that replaces all occurrences of a specified text in a file or even in all the listed files. You can also use an editor of your choice or the associated program to open and edit the file.
