Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Here is a text search program that searches multiple txt-files

Hello,

I am working on a diary / journaling program with my GUI approach and mouse integration + text editor and image preview aaaaand also a graph display of words you've written with every entry.

I am almost there to show you the main program, but I was in the need of a search
function, which can search multiple text-files. I thought maybe some others could
be interested to use it or just for inspiration. Who knows..  

No fancy GUI and stuff, to keep it simple for this example!
I am providing the program including 3 example txt written in english (example texts)

You can make case sensitivity switchable!

Of course when my diary program is done, I'll make it public   It is a good
example what you can do with my GUI-Editor.


Greetings
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I was thinking of something very similar as a supplement to FM. A find and replace program with REGEX. However, I'm hesitant to expand FM too much.
So, it's a good idea!
Kind regards
