Again, TotalCmd can do it natively with ftp; sftp & http
with plugins. Should probably call this VFS (virtual file
system) search.

I think it shouldn't be hard to roll your own TSE
macros with the help of cURL or wget. Finding file
names is easier but grepping will be time consuming
as you will have to get the files over and perform the

Yes, in general:
1. key: if very frequent use
2. menu: personal (search)
3. menu: job only (search)
4. macro: all (search): which shows all options serially to you, via YesNo() you select what you want more a reminder which options are available
===
At least. Searching (=usually finding answers (in a very easy way)) is one of the most important operations for me.

Re: [TSEPro] Binary keyword deprecated

The binary keyword was used in the DOS version to do things that
were hard or impossible to do in the macro language. This,
coupled with the Intr() (also deprecated) allowed the editor to
access DOS system services through interrupts. Typically, you
would write a small assembly routine, compile it to a .com file,

Wouldn't it be easier to to tie each search to a particular key
combination? Imagine you have 10 search tools :) Wouldn't those search
tools return identical results? I think text search in general can be
classified as below:

1) within a text editor (TSE in this case)
- including all files loaded in the buffers

Hi,
Does anybody know what the follow up or workaround is for the
binary
keyword.
E.g. Used in e.g. TSE v2.x, but in TSE 4.x it is not valid anymore.
Thanks.

I tend to run many search tools one after the other (via a serie of YesNo( "do you want to run this search program" in a TSE macro). I choose which one is appropriate for the given search (e.g. filename search or text search).
E.g. first TSE grep, then Everything, then TSE text search, then a multibrowser search, ...

Total Commander can do the job for you. It allows you to search for
file names and grep even within packed files, then you can configure
TSE as the default editor to use. IMHO, this sort of job is better
suited for a file manager or a specialized tool.

I found e.g. for TSE this similar macro
(but this does currently not search for filenames in compressed files (.zip, .jar, ...)
* Where ("Where" on Potpourri PickList or "Where Is" under Util Menu)
This macro searches one or more drives for files that match an indicated
filename specification. A PickList of all matching filenames is displayed,

TSE grep (available as a macro 'grep.mac' or grep.exe in the TSE directory) is one of the handiest tools for searching for text in external files.
But where I am looking for is a similar program which searches for *filenames* also in compressed files, like
.zip files
and specially
.jar
files.
Does anybody have hints or tips about any existing programs (or maybe it can maybe implemented for TSE) which can be used for searching of filenames (e.g. you want to find all filenames containing 'myfilename' in all files (including .zip files) in the c:\windows directory).

Regular expression

knud_van_ee...@yahoo.com (knud van eeden) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:36:40 UT

This is an attempt to make maybe regular expressions a bit easier to grasp.

You can choose the most common TSE regular expressions from a list.

By choosing one after the other you build your total regular expression.

It will also generate equivalent regular expressions programs in TSE, Perl, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python and Ruby for further testing in that computer language.

Well - the fun of regular expressions is: you can learn them bit by bit. One bit today, one bit tomorrow - or next week.

One of the things I do quite often is: find empty lines (or delete them). It's as simple as this:
lFind('^$' , 'x')
because ^ is the symbol for "beginning of line" and $ is "end of line".
