Looking for a simple way to do this. I have not programmed in quite a while and don't have the time to learn again with the new toolsets.

Ground rules:
1) Automatic - I hand it a list of files and it does a text search on several strings with logicals and saves the applicable files to a new directory.

IF string1 and not string2 etc... save to "directory"

2) Already available within Windows environment, though an ideal GNU utility would be acceptable.

I know I can do this with basic scripting but it sounds like work (vbasic and I never got along).

Any other ideas?

I get about 50-100 of these files in a zip every week and no longer have time to parse them manually.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
