Find in files redirect

[chris.d...@gmail.com]

Hello,

Is it possible to redirect the 'find in files' functionality to a seperate new file instead of the output pane?

I'm asking because it would be easier to search inside a file if you have a large number of results.

Thanks

The built-in ‘find in files’ does not support file output.

Find in Files can be changed to perform arbitrary command line tools by setting the find.command property and related properties.

Thanks, Neil.

One more question, I'm now using a powershell script, but is it possible to highlight the file/path in a color in the output pane? How do I do that exactly?

Greetings

The ‘errorlist’ lexer understands the format used by gcc:
<path>:<line>:<message>
