I have added another program to the archive. strfind It searches for strings, similar to grep. It can work in menu mode or from the command line. strfind strfind -h | --help str find -r | --rec recursively strfind --str="hello" -r strfind --dir="/home" -r --str="How ar you" strfind -r --file="words.txt" --wct=2 search for the second word in each line in the file 'words.txt'. strfind --ign="no" ignore all lines containing no. --str is not compatable with --file.
