Title: The MiniTrue Home Page

Welcome to the MiniTrue home page

MiniTrue is a fast and versatile text search/view/replace utility run from the DOS command line. MiniTrue synthesizes the functionality of such stalwarts as sed, more/less and grep while offering complete interactivity and a straightforward syntax. MiniTrue is freeware and is not crippled in any manner. MiniTrue searches the selected file(s) for the desired string(s). Once a string is found, it is displayed on the screen along with its context, which can be scrolled through if desired. If a replacement has been specified for the found string, MiniTrue will prompt to see if the found string should be changed. These three phases of operation are explained in more detail: (* denotes a new feature)
