TP Find In Files truly impressed me
Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2014 4:06 pm
I've been using and depending upon TP since 1999 and version 4.x
Don't remember when WE hit, but I think I bought version 1.x when it was out.
Been fighting this dilemma whereby I have a 4.5 GB file I'm trying to search.
Finally thought earlier this morning, "I wonder if a Find In Files would work?"
File has 23 million lines, and there were 4.7 million hits. Find In Files worked. And it was a pretty ugly RE search.
I downloaded and used PowerGrep as well, and it returned the exact same number of hits. PG was much faster, but it's really designed for this sort of thing.
TP still rocks!
