DESCRIPTION sfiles is a searching tool for local text files. It recursively searches for specified strings in files. It supports AND, OR and NOT boolean operators. The string search is not case sensitive. The output consists of the sum of each string found in a matched file. The results are sorted by the total AND strings found. An html formatted output is optional for easy location of files using a browser. |
