HOWTO: Search For Text In Files In Multiple Folders

To find file(s) of the required type containing the specific text in more than one folder, do the following.

  1. Specify the folders in which you want to find files. Separate multiple folders with semicolon. For example: C:\MyWebFiles\Projects;C:\MyProjects\CPP;C:\MyBooks\Programming

    Alternatively, you can use the Folder Manager to specify multiple folders.
  2. Set mask(s) of the files that you want to find. For example: *.htm*;*.asp;*.cpp
  3. Type the text that you want to find in the Find What field.
  4. Click the Search button. This is important to click this button rather than Replace, to not replace occurrences of the found text.
