Re: Search Engine CONTROL?

Thanks for the reply, Dave.

It's content I'm after. Basically, I've got a collection of
files, in different formats, that include:

- Tips and info gathered from the newsgroups (PDF and
ASCII)
- Instructions for various software apps that were created
in-office (PDF)
- Powerpoint presentations (don't expect to search these)
- Excel spreadsheets that are part of tutorials (don't expect
to search these)
- CAD drawings from AutoCad and MicroStation that are
part of tutorials (don't expect to search these)
- Code snippets (ASCII )

I'd like to be able to search for "treeview OR tree-view" and
have it populate a listbox with files containing either of these
words in the file content.

I'd heard of GREP, but have never used it. Google
returns a BUNCH of hits, so I'll be happily searching
through these today. Sounds like something that I
would expect to shell to (?) in order to output a text
file report, which I could then parse.

Thanks, again, for the help.
