How to proceed

Welcome to StrMatch, the String text-file matching!

The goal of StrMatch is simple: it is to display all the lines containing a string.

How to proceed

Open StrMatch

Select the input file (i.e. the text file you wish to scan), by typing its name (path and file name) or by going to the menu File/Open (short key is Ctrl-F12).

After, you have to define the string to be searched by typing it in the case jus on the right of  "String to search".

Processing

Just select on the menu File/Go! (short key F2).

Wait a (little) while during processing.

The table of results filters the lines of the text file where the searched string is found and shows:

 - the row where the string is found

 - the beginning column where the string begins in the matching line.

 - the lines itself

In the menu, the "Results..." item is visible, by clicking on it, you can chose to copy, menu "Results..."/Copy (only with the registered version), to print, menu "Results..."/Print, or file, menu "Results..."/Save As, the result table.

Please notice:

 - the ClipBoard copy and the file of the table separate columns with TABS, which can be very useful if you wish to paste it in a worksheet.

 - the ShareWare release show the text "Unregistered version, please register!!" on the paper and in the result file.

You sure can make another process with a new input file and/or another string to be searched.

To exit from StrMatch, just choose on the menuFile/Exit.

Thank you for using StrMatch; if you have to use this program evenly, do not forget to register...


Utility

What is StrMatch made for?

Imagine you have one or more text file(s) in which you want to find exactly where a string is seated, but you do not wish to open it (or them) with any editor or word-processor...

StrMatch makes that possible: this program displays all the matching lines and the placement of the searched string in a table which can be printed, filed, or copied (only with the registerd version) into the clipboard.

Then you will find it very useful, especially if you have to do that operation evenly.

So welcome to StrMatch!
