Hi,

In the Obli TESCS the "find text" command (in the "edit" menu) was really efficient to find strings in existing scripts. In the new CK it doesnt work (maybe cause scripts are now stocked in the data folder).

Is there any tool for Windows which is able to search for strings inside all files contained in a specific folder ?
It would be very nice to be able to search and to observe syntax and practical uses of existing functions in game scripts.

The windows search function?

It's dum...streamlined on XP and later , but you can still change it to search trough all file-types.

I use Notepad++'s "Find in Files" but it usually takes a few minutes to sift through all the scripts

I never trust Windows' built in search. It too often skips files for unknown reasons. You can always open a so prompt and use the "find" or "findstr" commands.

The target audience would be confused when the search function finds text in files that can't be opened with word or notepad.

It can be reset to proper behavior, though. Using find / findstr is so 80's...

How about this? http://tools.tortoisesvn.net/grepWin.html

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising.

Omg... I didnt know it was possible to do a search inside files content xD lol

Thank you very much for all your answers, will try notepad++ or grepWin !
