Hi Jason,

PSPad is a good editor with multiple file search/replace functions.

You can create projects which would include some/all your lisp files and
nothing else. Beats the hell out of Windows Explorer.

I'm using the heavyweight approach and installed the Cygwin package.

http://www.cygwin.com

You get a near complete Unix tool set, so grep is included. This is the
GNU version of "real" grep, not some do-it-yourself partial
re-implementation, so all Unix tricks should work.

- I'm using it through GNU Emacs (Windows version, not the one in
Cygwin), so it fits seamlessly into my tools.

Grep is a UNIX tool. Grep searches the input files for lines containing a match to a given pattern list. When it finds a match in a line, it copies the line to standard output (by default), or does whatever other sort of output you have requested with options.

No need to buy or install software. From the VLIDE, do a search and specify files. The ide will search all the files matching your file mask in the folder you specify. The results are returned to the IDE where a double-click will open the file at the found location.

...unless you want to use regular expressions.

You do have a point there.

Thank you mk,
That's what I needed. Just something simple for searching my lisps. If I do need a more complex grep in the future, I'll check out the others suggested. Thanks all.

That is a feature a lot of people miss.
I'm glad to help.
