Super Text Search 3.1
Super Text Search is a utility which enables you to quickly search files for text. In plain ASCII text files it also allows you to replace text. You can search anything from a single file to an entire drive for any text you need to find. Both plain text files (program source code, batch files, HTML files, etc.) and binary files (word processing and spreadsheet documents, PDF files, databases, even executable programs) can be searched, as can files archived inside ZIP, CAB or RAR files. In addition to simple searches for words or phrases, the program allows you to use regular expressions (as found in Grep utilities, which will be familiar to the more technical among you) to perform more advanced searches including wild cards and various types of pattern matching. After performing a search, files containing the search text can be viewed, edited or opened in their associated applications. Search results can also be printed or exported. Comments from users:
"Great program - the first shareware product I've ever decided to buy after using it only once."
"Powerful and very simple to use."
"A very useful and sophisticated tool."
"I like this program very much. Other comparable programs are much more expensive."
"An excellent product that has saved me lots of time and work."
"Very fast and extremely efficient. It does exactly what I want."

Power Edit 2.2
Power Edit is a very powerful text editor for Windows. It is a far more functional replacement for Notepad and Wordpad, and an excellent tool for creating and editing Web pages. With Power Edit you can simultaneously edit many files of large or small size, with lines of any length. You can quickly navigate between files with the simple tabbed interface, and can split each file window to see two views of the same file. The number of simultaneous open files is virtually unlimited. Power Edit contains all the usual features expected of text editors and several that are unique. The search and replace function is especially powerful, including regular expression handling as well as soundex and approximate searches, which are found in few if any other editors. In addition, the program includes many text manipulation functions which are difficult to find elsewhere, such as removal of leading spaces, position-based text deletion, deletion of blank lines, conversion of data between fixed width and delimited formats, and extraction of e-mail addresses and Internet URLs. The complete list of features includes: File Operations
