Re: Staying with XP after April 8 2014 (was Win 7 vs Win 8)

Thanks Carl.  I had no idea FINDSTR was there in Win (going back to XP, or earlier ?) and will have to see what it can do and how it works.  Looking forward to checking out any new U2 frames, as well.

LOCATE32 is top-notch. It comes with a command-line version,
LOCATE.EXE, which makes a perfect fit with XyWrite. The next release
of U2 has a frame, LOCATE, which provides a seamless interface
between LOCATE.EXE and the Xy Cmline: You enter LOCATE
[string] (where "[string]" is a bit of the desired
filename), and the search results are imported directly -- and at
lightning speed -- into XyWrite. (The key to LOCATE[32]'s speed is
its filename database, which should be updated daily as an automated
task.)

Also not to be ignored is FINDSTR.EXE, the built-in Win32 grep
utility. There's a U2 frame, GREP,
 which uses FINDSTR to provide
GREP functionality from the CMline -- also in the forthcoming
release of U2.
