Searching specific content in Text file or AU3

Glad you like it.

In the old good days (lol) I made one as well long time ago

I remembered that Nine did write a script to find content in au3 files, as it's written in his signature :

Tool to search content in au3 files

Today, I needed to search text in 40 files that are not au3 files, so I decided to try his script for the 1st time and see if there was a line to change so it could search in any text file extension. The 1st good surprise was the thread name :

Searching specific content in Text file or AU3

And the useful Filters field (default is *.au3) can be changed directly, for example to *.txt or even * for all files in the folder ( * suited me as my text files hadn't any extension at all after being downloaded by curl )

Everything worked fine and the whole searched sentence was retrieved (I was a bit worried it may retrieve this word OR that word from the search field)

So bravo Nine for this great script, maybe you could amend your signature to match it with the thread title, so it will appear clearly in your signature that the script retrieves text for any kind of text file, not only au3 ?
