I'm looking for a free or shareware "grep" program that will search
through multiple files like grep does.  For example, you might type in
a regular expression to search for and also specify a path name in
which to search.  Sort of like Unix find and grep rolled into one.
  I've seen something on sumex but it doesn't handle multiple files
and its handling of regular expressions was fairly stupid.

If there's nothing in the PD world, are there any commercial APPS that
are inexpensive?  What's the best out there?  I seem to recall that On
Location was the title holder but it's expensive!

This is something the programmer community needs (and I don't have
time to code it up).

Thanks in advance...
