Hi,

The following help information was displayed when typing:

find /?

at the command prompt on my Windows 7 x64 machine:

Searches for a text string in a file or files.

FIND [/V] [/C] [/N] [/I] [/OFF[LINE]] "string" [[drive:][path]filename[ ....]]

  /V         Displays all lines NOT containing the specified string.
  /C         Displays only the count of lines containing the string.
  /N         Displays line numbers with the displayed lines.
  /I         Ignores the case of characters when searching for the string.
  /OFF[LINE] Do not skip files with offline attribute set.
  "string"   Specifies the text string to find.
  [drive:][path]filename
             Specifies a file or files to search.

If a path is not specified, FIND searches the text typed at the prompt
or piped from another command.

Are we in the ball-park here?

hth,

Rod

Hi all,
Can anybody recommend a good utility for comparing files and folders which has good accessibility with WE? As an example, I would like to compare two folders to know which files have different content and which files exist only on one of the folders. Then, if a certain mismatching file is a text file, I would like to be able to understand what lines differ and how.
(support for recursive comparison will be great)
I'm hoping to find something which will not be to cumbersome..
Your help will be greatly appreciated
