HPS Search - Windows port of Unix grep

HPS Search is a Windows version (DRM Converter for Windows) of the Unix grep text search utility. With HPS Search you can easily find text words and phrases in multiple files and subdirectories. HPS Search is ready to use with no complicated setup – select the starting directory, enter the text to search for, and hit Start. You will immediately begin seeing a list of files displayed, as matches are found. Click on one of the matches, and you will see the line containing the match, with some extra lines above and below to show you the context. HPS Search offers four kinds of searches including regular expressions. Search text is saved to allow instant repeat searches with different settings. And the exclusive Speed Folders™ found only in HPS Search give you direct access to frequently used folders.

Key Features

  • Clean user interface – allows you to begin using HPS Search immediately.
  • Search multiple files (Copy files from iPod Touch to PC) and subdirectories – if you want, you can search entire drives.
  • 4 types of searches – use normal searches when you do not need wildcards, DOS-style searches when you want to use * or ? wildcard characters, or regular expressions when you need more powerful searches.
  • Search parameters saved – repeat your search immediately or a week from now. All search parameters are saved and available for instant recall.
  • Results list – list of files with matches shows number of matches in each file, allowing you to choose best match.
  • Context window – shows each matched line along with lines before and after matched line.
  • Use your own editor – double-click in the context window and the file will open in your favorite editor.
  • Speed Folders™ – one-click access to frequently used folders.
  • Exclude files/folders – optionally specify file extensions (Instant File Recovery Software) and folders to skip.
  • Named file masks – create your own named file masks for the file extensions you work with.
  • Safe for forensics – HPS Search does not permit changing text or modifying files, so it is guaranteed safe for use in computer forensics situations.
  • Results are digitally signed – HPS Search incorporates an unbreakable digital signature each time you save the search results to a file, allowing you to easily prove the authenticity of the results.
