AJC Grep is a powerful file finder, text search, replace and data extraction
program for Windows that lets you use regular expressions. AJC Grep is very
easy to use and is a vast improvement over the built in Windows search
facility.

The many uses for AJC Grep include: file finder, text finder, text
replacement, text extraction, data conversion, directory tree printer, file
list printer and file matches printer and multiple file renamer.

Files are selected according to a powerful set of criteria and then
presented in several different integrated viewing lists. These include
directory tree view, files list view, matches view, matches in context view,
full file view, text output view. Plain text and binary byte view modes are
supported and all views can be printed.

A very useful feature lets you remove directories, files or individual
matches from the list before replacing anything. This avoids the tiresome
and error prone process of pressing yes/no to replace individual matches
that you have to perform in many traditional replacement programs.

Replacement operations can be reviewed before proceeding using the built in
Diff tool. This shows you a comparison of a file before and after the
replacement has been done.

The full file view has syntax highlighting for many popular programming
languages.

The text output view shows the raw text output from searches. This format
of this text is user definable so you can use it for different purposes.
This includes data extraction, such as extracting email addresses from
files, data conversion or as input to other programs.

All tasks can be saved in a project file for regular use. The criteria and
progress of your search is shown in the report view and may be optionally
written to a permanent log.
