HOWTO: Search For Text In Files In Multiple Folders
To find file(s) of the required type containing the specific text in more than one
folder, do the following.
- Specify the folders in which you want to find files. Separate multiple folders
with semicolon. For example:
C:\MyWebFiles\Projects;C:\MyProjects\CPP;C:\MyBooks\Programming
Alternatively, you can use the Folder Manager
to specify multiple folders.
- Set mask(s) of the files that you want to find. For example:
*.htm*;*.asp;*.cpp
- Type the text that you want to find in the Find What field.
- Click the Search button. This is important to click this button rather than
Replace, to not
replace occurrences of the found text.
