PRGrep is a combination of the standard search tool provided with Windows and the Unix "grep" utility: it searches a string (or words) in files and displays the lines containing this data.
It is very easy to use (integrated in the Windows explorer) and offers a lot of advanced capabilities such as recursive search in sub-directories, filters on file names, various search modes (plain text, all words, one of the words, binary datas), results exportation, direct edition of found files, search inside compressed files, more.
FreewareFiles tested PRGrep v8.12 on 2009-04-11 using leading
antivirus scanners and found it 100% Clean. It does not contain any form
of malware, spyware, viruses, trojans, etc. We will re-test each updated
version and remove the award as well as the program if found infected.

Pros: None
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Continuously comes up with errors if the search depth (in subdirectories) is anything but trivial.
