Hehe - thnx for checking.

Update: The program has split off into a free and pro version. I'm not totally clear on the difference and what's missing for free users.

TextCrawler Free is at v.3.1.3 - https://www.digitalvolcano.co.uk/tcchangelog.html

Requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or greater.
