Name: TextFindIT
Version: 2.0
Date: 2009
Description:
Did you ever wanted to search for a specific text string inside all files in a folder…I did. And because I couldn’t, I decided to make a small application that would be able to do it.
TextFindIT can search for a text string inside the content of all files in a folder and subfolders, including non-text files.
Demonstration: Watch video demonstration.
