The point of it

The idea is to be able to check a set of text files, looking in each to find a string or check dates.

 

How to do it

 

Choose a folder, and the case-sensitive mark-up in the texts you want to locate.  Then press Start.

 

String example:

 

find_files_string

Date example:

 

find_files_date

 

Move/Copy

If you press the Move button you can then move or copy the files which were found. If moved, they get renamed .moved placed in a sub-folder called moved.

If copied, you get to choose the destination, and they retain their existing path-structure. For example, J:\Mary\Robert\Fatima\Text1 if the destination is J:\Mary\Peter will be saved as J:\Mary\Peter\Fatima\Text1.
