Maybe you could use Google Desktop with Larry's Any Text File Indexer http://desktop.google.com/plugins/i/indexitall.html.

RE: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility
I understand that, but if his specific requirement is to go through .as files, then something like TextPad should be able to do exactly what he needs. You can search for and replace all instances of a specific string within folders, subfolders, specifically selected files, etc. You can even add the .as filetype within TextPad and associate it directly to TextPad or have it open up the default program. I mean, did you guys even look up TextPad's capabilities before shooting down my suggestion? ActionScript files are nothing more than text files. There's no special encoding type to show that they are 'ActionScript' files, aside from the fact that the compiler is hard-coded to look for the specific .as extension. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Count Schemula Sent: Monday, May 28, 2007 2:53 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility He wants to use search to go through files on the computer and look inside the files for matches.

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility
Not sure about TextPad but I know EditPlus will let me search entire directories, and subdirectories if desired, for whatever text, or even a regular expression, in any files found. You can specify the extensions or not. The files don't have to be open in the program and the results are returned as a list (one for each line found in each file) in a window. You can then double-click a line and the associated file will be displayed at the line in question (line will be highlighted). Is that the kind of functionality you would be looking for? If not, what is it you need that isn't covered in what I mentioned?

Okay, excuse my last email if this is the type of functionality you're looking for. Perhaps I misread what was written. If what you're looking for is a 'class browser' of sorts, then download and install Eclipse w/ either ASDT or FDT (probably FDT) and import a new Flash project, point it to the folder where your project sits and you'll be able to browse through all the classes as well as being able to search through all classes/files for specific strings. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Count Schemula Sent: Monday, May 28, 2007 2:58 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility http://www.sephiroth.it/python/classbrowser.php Does this offer anything?

Cool, I guess I should have assumed that there would be some powerful text editors available. I just thought I saw NotePad or something, which can't do stuff like that. From: http://www.textpad.com/products/textpad/features.html A powerful search/replace engine using UNIX-style regular expressions, with the power of editor macros. Sets of files in a directory tree can be searched, and text can be replaced in all open documents at once.

You can search for and replace all instances of a specific string within folders, subfolders, specifically selected files, etc. You can even add the .as filetype within TextPad and associate it directly to TextPad or have it open up the default program. I mean, did you guys even look up TextPad's capabilities before shooting down my suggestion? ActionScript files are nothing more than text files. There's no special encoding type to show that they are 'ActionScript' files, aside from the fact that the compiler is hard-coded to look for the specific .as extension. -- count_schemula ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
RE: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility
Thanks David, In your initial post I misread text files as text file's... hence my response. I'll download it and take a look at it. It still would be nice to have a general purpose desktop app that does this, but for my most immediate needs this might fit the bill. ...Rob -Original Message- From: David Ngo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 28, 2007 3:04 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility I understand that, but if his specific requirement is to go through .as files, then something like TextPad should be able to do exactly what he needs.

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility
If you have Dreamweaver, it allows you to search through: - an entire site - selected documents in site - folder - open documents - current document regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Hairy Dog Digital [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Monday, May 28, 2007 7:56 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility Hi all, Does anyone have a desktop file searching utility they can recommend that really does search within files of any type for specific strings? The built in Windows search utility, as well as the Google Desktop Search, do not seem to search within file types such as external ActionScript files. They only seem to poke around in the known text document types (DOC, PDF, EPS, XLS, etc.) Recommendations?

Hi, A general purpose desktop app that does this, and a lot, lot more, is Total Commander. I cannot recommend enough this little app - give it a try.

http://keithhair.com/web/photos/searchexample.jpg http://www.jedit.org/ If you not familiar, J-Edit's Hypersearch feature would be excellent for this. It searches within all text filetypes over a whole directory. Allows filtering and RegExp. Not bad for writing scripts either. -- Keith H -- Hairy Dog Digital wrote: Hi all, Does anyone have a desktop file searching utility they can recommend that really does search within files of any type for specific strings?

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] desktop file searching utility
SEPY has a search in feature that would work perfectly for what you are doing. you could set up a fake project that is at the root level of your drive and search .as files for text.
