Robert,
One tool I created is GftSearch (on CPC) which is used by GftSearchFile
and GftSearchFiles. A collection of strings can be sought
simultaneously (parallel search) and the cursor is placed into the
document at the occurance of the one found.
For example, all three of the following can be entered at once and those
files that contain any (or all) are returned:
Dinosaur
birds
DNA
The directory type can also be specified (e.g. Docu, Mod, Rsrc, etc).
Search is very fast, each character in a file is examined only once and
prefix and suffix overlaps are handled correctly.
I have SearchFile and SearchFiles installed under my Text menu.
In the process of writing a FORTRAN to Component Pascal translator I
have found the need to include a "don't care" symbol (say "$") in the
search process so that "h$t" would fire on "hat", "habit", "he saw my
house at", etc. ("don't care" is not in the current release of
GftSearch but will be include in the future).
