The issue with UltraEdit (which I *love*) is that it is really not a real-time search. When I need to find a transaction, it is frequently because I am on the phone with the requestor. Or I'm under some serious time-pressure. I need it right then. Having to fire up a search, and let it run can become time consuming with enough data.
Database solutions require development and maintenance. With X1 or DTSearch, they index files, and keep them indexed. When I go looking for a document (whether it be X12 or Word, or anything else), it literally displays the results *while typing*. You can literally watch the number of resulting hits narrow while you are typing "Carefirst Bill Smith -jersey -mary". AND, you just install them, point to a directory (or directories) and let it run.

What I used to do was create an Access Database that stored all the raw documents sent/recd. I'd then loop through the raw documents, strip out any required info, and store it in the Access Database. Chris, I use the "Find In Files" option in "textpad" for the same purpose you described. It works much faster than Windows. Plus, you can double click on each resulting file and it will automatically open up the file. www.textpad.com Joe -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of hultc Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 10:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [EDI-L] Data search & organization for raw edi data - Win 2000 files. Does anyone have any suggestions for a tool that to help sort and search through lots of raw EDI data. This would be for troubleshooting and really only used when we need to dig through the raw data. The raw edi data in question is all file based residing on a win2000 server. Multiple mailboxes/folders. Right now when need to piece things together we sometimes find ourselves using windows file searching to try to locate a particular PO#, inv#, control#, etc. Mapping and 997 matching is already taken care of. It is just when we have to dig through the raw data to piece together what happened that it gets troublesome. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks! Chris Hult ...
