Do you know any programs to 'Find' specific phrases in files?

I use 'multireplace' program to do find/replace a specific pattern (like google adsense code) in all files in a folder(s). But I need a program just to 'Find' (but not replace) a pattern in files and spit out the file names that have that pattern (again like adsense code).

Multireplace doesnt do just find. Do any of you know any such programs?

Thanx in advance.

 

"grep" in unix and "find" in DOS - both work in a similar manner

 

If you're looking for a Windows tool, there's one called HTML Search and Replace that can do that as well as replace. Don't let the name fool you; it can search any files in addition to HTML.

 

Below are the tools you can use
TExtpad

Dreamweaver


phpdesigner

Hope it Helps

 

I'll plug textpad, I think it's a great product.

 

grep -rn 'search terms' | more

 

On site? grep

on your PC?... I use Araneae to open as many files as my computer memory allows (or divided into batches when too large and more than 100 or so) and then running a FIND/REPLACE search I find them all, just selecting "Find Next" instead of "Find and Replace"

On Server Side I GO for:

Grep
SED
AWK

A combination of the three makes my life easy..
