HPS Search is a Windows version of the Unix grep text search utility. With HPS Search you can easily find text words and phrases in multiple files and subdirectories. HPS Search is ready to use with no complicated setup – select the starting directory, enter the text to search for, and hit Start. You will immediately begin seeing a list of files displayed, as matches are found. Click on one of the matches, and you will see the line containing the match, with some extra lines above and below to show you the context. HPS Search offers four kinds of searches including regular expressions. Search text is saved to allow instant repeat searches with different settings. And the exclusive Speed Folders™ found only in HPS Search give you direct access to frequently used folders.
