- REQ; highlight all occurences of search text in document
- Posted by David X on December 15th, 2004
Is there a freeware utility which will, in one go, highlight all the
occurences of a particular text string in a dcoument.
(If I am not being clear then I mean like Google does when you ask for a
page which Google has got in its cache. Then Google picks out the search
string and shows it on a different background color.)
I don't mind if such a utility is standalone (like Metapad or Editpad) or if
it works on text already being shown by a word processor (like Atlantis or
MS Word).

Hi;
Stand alone Freeware: "TItext".
You may back away from it when I say it's a DOS app. but by opening a command
prompt it is actually quite proficient!
If TI.exe is installed somewhere in your PATH statement, a simple call for "TI
(Drive Letter):\WHAT-WHERE EVER THE DOC IS" with the "search term" is all that's
needed.
Anyway, it comes with an helper.

"David X" <someone@somewhere.com>:
The WordTabs rtf editor has a special function related to this. Under
Search > Mark Up. You choose a font color, say red, for it to use for
all found occurrences. You can, if wanted, copy out this result view to
clipboard and save as an RTF file.
WordTabs also has a wonderful disk find functionality. From the results
hits window on that, you can launch chosen documents into tabs in its
editor. The found occurrences in each document will be highlighted. It
also has a useful folder explorer panel, with a command to open that to
show source folder of any active document.
