Great scripting aid tool

Being that I'm relatively new and I generally have no idea where to search for a textstring I'm looking for I stumbled across WinGrep.

It's great. Put in the string you are looking for, pick the subdirectories you want to search and what file type you want to dig through and off it goes. Give you a list of all files with that string in it as well as the entire line it's on.
To make it even niftier you can set it to open the file in your favorite editor with a double click.

I use WinMerge a lot with CVS, especially for comparing files or if I have a duplicate file with small changes that I want to re-insert back into my project.

Check out Agent Ransack. I've been using that since I started and it's super handy for finding keywords in files, it also gives a report listing each line it found the keyword on, with the surrounding line, so you don't have to open the file. Sounds pretty similiar to your description of WinGrep, though, so probably either will do you just fine. :)I use WinMerge a lot with CVS, especially for comparing files or if I have a duplicate file with small changes that I want to re-insert back into my project.

... both excellent tools for editing.
But GREP is by far the most useful of any of them. A good find in files is worth its weight in gold when you're working with Torque. Thanks for the pointer, Chris.
