Pros & Cons

Windows Grep 2.2 Specs

Type: Personal
Type: Professional

Many Unix heads now working in Windows environments long for the easy find-and-replace of a Unix GREP (G/RE/P, or Get, Replace, Print) utility. Enter Windows Grep 2.2 ($30). With this versatile program, you can quickly locate text strings, words, and phrases within large groups of files, without having to slog through every file in its associated program's find-and-replace feature. If you need to locate one specific name in a group of 30 Excel files or a misspelled name in 50 Word documents, this is the utility for you.
