They're just text files that you're searching. Personally, I use Textpad's
"find in files" feature for such things, but that'd be the case whether
they're ASP files or any other type of file.

Ray,
Thanks - I thought the ASP guys would better know than just an XP-Pro
guy... but I'll post over there...

news:ro********************@tornado.tampabay.rr.co m... I need to search a folder & sub-folders for key words in ASP files...
I can open the files with Notepad and see the text string there...
But when I try to navigate to the folder with Windows Explorer, right
click and 'search for word in file' ... it reports back that the text string
was
not found.
I've fooled around with the 'advanced' settings but can't seem to make
it work... even when I'm searching a single folder with a single ASP file
in it... no matter what the text string... it won't find it... neither
will the standard search tool with xp-pro.
thanks for any help.
