Search - Find in Files in Macro Recording

Post by Rakesh K MIttal »

Hi All

When I try to record a macro the menu option Search - Find in Files is not
available. How can I make it available?

Or in Find in File Dialog box using '@file' I can search in multiple files where
the filenames are contained in 'file'. But what I want to do is search a set of
files in multiple foldres. As a detailed explanation this is what I want to do

I have an application running on multipe boxes, the hard drive of each is mapped
on my workstation as F, G and H. I want to look in what files the error occuers.

So I want to serach for string - ERROR
in files *0529*.log '\ 0529 is for date
in folders F:\logs, G:\Logs and H:\logs

using minimum number of steps.
I tried to use MSDOS FindStr , but that wont open files currently locked by
application, but Textpad can open those files. But issue is who to automate it.

Thanks
