Is there such application (for mac) which is able to perform searching not only files inside folders but code/text inside files/folders?
I would prefer this searching engine when I edit some files in opencart code
thnx jay but this simple search of individual files is included in all file managers. I am looking for something able to search in whole folder with many subfolders and files
grep is much more powerful than simply searching in one file, however it's a local command. You could only use it on a remote server if you have ssh access, but just so you know you can do something like grep -rl "sometext" * and it will search all files in the current folder and all subfolders and spit out a list of files containing that text. or grep -irl "sometext" * for same thing with case insensitive search. you can also use regex in the search string. grep is an amazingly powerful search tool if you learn it.poshook wrote:thnx jay but this simple search of individual files is included in all file managers.

I am not aware of any ftp program that allows this type of searching on remote files.

To be fair it would be impossibly slow to use it via FTP, since an FTP program is local, so it would have to manually download a file, search, then move onto the next one, recursing through all of the folders and subfolders. The grep link I gave did actually show what Xsecrets means (third example down). I use regexbuddy's built in grep, and it's great on windows for local folders. You're not going to be able to do this remotely unless like X has said you have SSH access to the server
what's the purpose?
If doing code work, I usually use BBEdit.
Which I do know searches fast, like almost as fast as the finder and pulls up the files by lines and such.
However, I have never tried the FTP function in it.
