File Search

[Freebird]

It was when moving the site to a new server that I realized or remembered that Windows Explorer search function would NOT search within PHP files for words and/or phrases. I was trying to find all the files that had certain database and absolute paths so that I could update them to work with the new server.

 

This will be no use to many of you but for those who sometimes need to search within all file types, it worked very well.

Thank you - I miss some of the old UNIX commands like grep and a wildcard command line "find" command. Would like to move to Linux, but business apps will not allow it.
