Message-ID: <1991May27.145327.1@csc.anu.edu.au> Date: 27 May 91 03:53:27 GMT Article-I.D.: csc.1991May27.145327.1 Sender: news@newshost.anu.edu.au Organization: Computer Services, Australian National University Lines: 7 I have "lost" some text in a file somewhere on my hard disk. Is there any utility that will scan a specified set of files (say all those in a particular folder) regardless of their type, for a simple text string? Thanks for your help, Andrew Mackinnon
