On Windows I use the free version of Bare Grep: http://www.baremetalsoft.com/baregrep/ No, it's not a Python solution, but it works for my needs. You should try using Python to search your script files and see if it really is too slow though. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
