Grep?

[skreien 0]

I have a directory full of text files which I need to search through periodically. Currently I use a dos grep command and do it by hand, but I would like to automate it. Is there an equivalent in AutoIt, or another way to do it?

As long as you don't write your own version of grep in AutoIt: no.

That's what I was afraid you would say. I may have to do that at some point, it would make my life much easier.

Thanks.

Couldn't you use AutoIt to collect the parameters you want, search string etc, and then call grep from within the AutoIt script? Edited January 24, 2005 by martin

Most probably with all the good String related functions, considering overall the new StringRegExp(), you should be able to do what you need in 100% Autoit.
