winGrep replacement

[Ghostrider-GRG]

I recently had to replace my motherboard / cpu and lost wingrep as a result. I wondered if anyone had recommendations for a replacement for it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks !

@Ghostrider-DbD- Funnily enough I just downloaded grepwin. Seems to work well so far (used it to search for playableunits() calls in all the addons I have so I could replace them):

Much appreciated.

@Ghostrider-DbD- NP. BTW, in case you could use them, did you see my posts in the Lootspawner, SEM and WAI threads... I've only fixed the playableunits() calls... need to go back and deal with any other issues later but my two servers are now up and running 1.66 and seem to be okay so far (some issues it seems on player death for some players... investigating that one)

No - feel free to send me a PM if you would like to discuss any of these issues. Work is killing me so I am behind on all things Arma and Epoch but I do have some time here and there.

I use wingrep and it's great, but honestly at this day and age almost all tools can do what wingrep do, even notepad++ searches files.

If you don't like n++, another much better tool that has grep integrated (and is my new favorite) is Visual Studio Code. This tool is great if working with specific folders like project.

For casual use, wingrep is still better if used for stuff like finding that one function or class name when extracting Arma's PBOs.

If looking for alternative, there's quite a few good ones out there.

@Raymix,

Finally gave Visual Studio Code a try. Thank you for that recommendation.
