I made a small but possibly helpful utility to look for a desired piece of text in a folder full of code.  Once an extension and a phrase to search for has been specified, it looks through through the chosen files' contents and reports the location of the match.

Usage!
DirSearch.exe EXTENSION PHRASE

Example!
DirSearch.exe txt pork

Example Output!
     ***Bacontime.txt***
line 1 - porkporkpork
line 7 - bacon pork is neat
     ***Tennis.txt***
line 23 - I put pork in my mouth before a game once, it was neat.


It has only been created for Windows.
Yes, alternatives have already been created. This one may pose some advantage, who knows? That's half the fun!
It can be downloaded from fuzzlesoft.zzl.org/Files/DirSearch.zip

Erm, doesn't find work for you?

Find doesn't really give me much information about the contents of the file.  But other utilities that does something similar are Grep or find-in files in Visual Studio.  Nevertheless, good work on the utility.

find /N "Phrase" [Files]

find /N "#$01" *.asm

Heh, yes, there are more viable options, but it was my first test in c for a while and it could be helpful.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to downplay your tool
It just seemed like something that mostly is there already.
