Brief Description of Find++ 2.1
-------------------------------
Find++ is a useful Windows 3.1x shareware utility that gives you a 
powerful and friendly tool to find files having a common text. It
has a powerful user interface with which you can quickly change all 
the occurrences of the specified text in these files. Full context-
sensitive help and a small tutorial helps you grasp its 
user-interface quickly.

Search by specifying multiple file names with or without 
wild-cards or just drag-drop files from the File Manager. You can 
search for files up to a specified sub-directory depth for each file 
name specification. By restricting search to a specified level you 
can fine-tune searches through large media like CD-ROMS. You can 
search for a case-sensitive, whole word or regular expression match. 
Find++'s  regular expressions are similar to those in MS Word 6.0 
and easy to master. You can also specify file modification dates. 

Sort the listed files using the file name, size or date as the sort
key within or across directories. Rename, delete, copy or move files. 

Open a file in an edit window along with a numbered line list of the
lines in the file containing the search text. Double-clicking a line
in the line list scrolls the edit window to bring the context of 
that line in the file into view. 

Use Find++'s regular expressions for searching text within a file. 
The powerful search and replace command can replace all occurrences 
of a specified text in a file or  even in all the listed files. 

Optionally, you can use your favorite editor or associated 
program to view the file.

Find++ is similar in concept to the Windows 95 File Finder Find++.
But Find++ can use regular expressions for its search and comes with 
a powerful text editor with an associated line list for you edit the 
listed files with speed. Use Find++ to search and replace common text
like variable names in your programs, or for searching old forgotten 
files with regular expressions.

Find++ is yours for $10 only. Registration can be done at 
CompuServe's SWREG software registration service or at Kagi, a 
shareware payment processing service, via email. Kagi accepts credit 
card payments.
