Winsearch - Where's Chapter 3?



Friends -
Re the filename and text-in-file searcher from PC Magazine -- I found it and downloaded it from this
site:
http://www.zdnet.com/pcmag/download/utils/wsearch.htm

The download consists of versions for Win 3.1x, 95, NT, and OS/2 (command line only for OS/2), plus
some support files. It works a lot like the Win 95 Find applet in the Start menu, but it adds
regular expressions. Unlike the Microsoft version, you can't click on the results to open a file,
or even copy the results to the clipboard. But it's still useful.

Since the zipped archive is about 100K, I won't post it here; but if you contact me at
tbaehr@xxxxxxxx
and I'll send you a copy as an attachment. Or you can just get it from the URL above.

I haven't done this, but I suppose you can launch it from XyWrite; unfortunately, the program
doesn't take a command-line argument, so you can't pass a search argument to it from within XyWrite
(except via the Win clipboard).

Cheers,
