Re: Grep for Windows

Dear Mark,

For search plus editing (excellent when some standardisation or markup 
editing is neeed), I would definitely second Ciarán's recommendation for 
UltraEdit.

A freeware application with similar capabilities is NoteTabLite 
(http://www.notetab.com/ntl.php).
An interesting, though older (2003), freeware search and replace 
facility for you to try out may be InfoRapid Search and Replace:

Regards,

Przemek
