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....

Yeah, that looks really good. I'll check that one out as well.

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

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):
Code: Select all
IDList=\v+HotKey=\d+\v+IconFile=C:\\.*\v+IconIndex=\d+\v+

@
Ruby: So sorry, my mistake (I checked
http://busybox.net/downloads/) current is v1.2
1.1, but v1.20.2 is there -- I was only looking at the tail...
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'...
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...

grepWin is currently v1.6.5 (changelog not found, download at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/stefans ... s/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:
Code: Select all
; configuration file for yaP v0.6.5.293B (http://rolandtoth.hu/yaP/)
; application name: grepWin
; version: v1.6.9.612
; website: http://stefanstools.sourceforge.net/grepWin.html
[GENERAL]
application = grepWin32.main :: grepWin64.main
; commandline =
; workdir =
[BEFORE]
nowait = 1
[...]
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...

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).
