I'll try one more time.  I didn't receive any responses to my
first posting, so here goes:

I would like to find a utility (maybe a DA) for the Mac which can
search through a series of text files searching for a given string
or pattern.

This is utility should be similar in functionality as the Unix "grep"
command.  

Currently, I have the Browser and Freetext programs to search through
text files, but they build large indexes which are very cumbersome to
deal with for the small files that I have.

Thanks in advance.
