phil: Terrific.
If you can add a 'File or Folder Picker' to the 'Look In:' box this would be an absolutely 5 star app.

Shocker: v1.4:
- Fixed "Delete" option
- Implemented "Move" and "Copy" options

Shocker: v1.3:
- Fixed "Failed to set data for ''" error when running on non-admin user account

Michael Holm: This small and simple program solved the long ongoing problem that I had when trying to find a text-string in my game-servers directory..
Windows search function didnt make it no mater how hard I tried..

File String Finder made it in 1 minute.

This program goes in to my folder "very useful tools"

Thank Yoy very much

Shocker: You're welcome. If you have any other suggestions please tell.

In the mean time, found some more bugs, v1.2:
- Fixed incorrect handling of 2GB or larger files
- Fixed search freezing when a file couldn't be accessed
- Fixed "Access violation" when trying to stop the search

Mike: Wow! Now thats what I call service. Many thanks.

Shocker: I know about that bug, frustrating. Was too lazy to fix it, even though I'm using it daily.

So here comes v1.1:
- Fixed tab order
- When changing text type from Text<=>HEX it will automatically convert from/to HEX
- Enter key can be pressed from anywhere on the program to start the search

Mike: Hello, I have started using file string finder - absolutely great.
Could you tweak it so 'tab' shifts through the boxes logically?

Shocker: I can make it create a plain-text list with found files if you want, you'll just have to copy/paste and save your file

Bob Carpenter: Can the results be redirected to a file? Thanks.
