How about a freeware version like this one: grepWin... been using it for a long time. Works on Win7 and has a 64 bit version..
http://tools.tortoisesvn.net/... never tested for portable... don't have a thumb drive...but it is open source so easy to check....

Re: Windows GREP
Yeah, that looks really good. I'll check that one out as well.Gunner wrote:How about a freeware version like this one: grepWin... been using it for a long time. Works on Win7 and has a 64 bit version..

Command line parameters for grepWin
parameter | description
...
/portable | stores ini settings file in the same directory as the one in which grepwin.exe resides
Re: Windows GREP
I tested GrepWin suggested by lautrepay with the commandline parameter /portable and when I opened and closed it didn't save any settings, but then when I search for something it saved history in HKCU\Software\grepWin.
Tested: Not Portable

Re: Windows GREP
Thanks guys for making me aware of another good program =)
There's a portable version of grepWin at PortableApps.com, in case anyone hasn't seen it.
Works pretty nicely - I just used it to get rid of all that extra data that Firefox tacks onto internet shortcuts. I wish there was an option to not include icon paths when creating them. (and those paths include your logon name!)
This is the RegEx I used for deleting that, btw (file name filter: *.url):

Re: grepWin
@Ruby: So sorry, my mistake (I checked http://busybox.net/downloads/) current is v1.21.1, but v1.20.2 is there -- I was only looking at the tail...
grepWin is currently v1.6.3.546 (2013/10/27 build date), available in 32 and 64 bit variants from the homepage at http://stefanstools.sourceforge.net/grepWin.html.
@webfork: present topic should probably be moved to 'Resources and Links' or the like...
EDIT: contrary to Windows GREP, which is shareware, free OSS grepWin (referred by Gunner at viewtopic.php?p=32122#p32122) is mostly portable if (always!) run with the /portable command line parameter -- it still saves some settings (window position) to 'HKCU\Software\grepWin'...http://busybox.net/ wrote:http://busybox.net/]2 July 2012 -- BusyBox 1.20.2

Re: grepWin
grepWin is currently v1.6.5 (changelog not found, download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/stefans ... s/grepWin/)
Re: grepWin
grepWin is currently v1.6.9(.612, released 2015-06-09; changelog not found, download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/grepwin/files/1.6.9/).
There are now portable versions with both 32 and 64-bits executables that appear to be completely stealth -- settings are saved to (a mostly empty) 'grepwin.ini' file in program folder, and I didn't find the the previously reported registry entry at 'HKCU\Software\grepWin'. In the interest of running the adequate bitness version, you could use the following config for a yaP launcher:
Please note that download of both portable versions and renaming each one -- to 'grepWin32.main' and 'grepWin64.main' -- is required for this launcher configuration to work.
Having compressed said executables with UPX and mpress, respectively, my whole portable grepWin folder is thus less than 1MB...

It seems that grepWin has completely switched from SourceForge to GitHub, the latest version (1.7.2.730) is available for download only from GitHub.

Re: grepWin - search and replace
As noted in a Notepad3 post, there is a new search-and-replace tool that's based off grepWin called "grepWinNP3."
As yet, I don't see a substantial difference between the two programs, though I get the sense that grepWinNP3 has a few more features/filters but is still in beta (I saw a few minor issues in testing).
