Oh man, I'm glad I don't have to do C++ anymore for real - I can see that
code in my head (it's not much, less than 20 lines maybe, depending a bit
on what you're feeding it and wether you want it to be case sensitive or
not and stuff like that) and I'm not missing it .

So you're building your own grep tool, eh?

Yay! I keep the MSDN stuff on my disk even though I don't use any MS tools
currently. There's still a huge load of good information there.

Yes, there is. It's called Google, and you can find it from www.google.com
. It's pretty neat, all you do is type in a few words and hey presto! It's
magic

(seriously, there's a bit of a problem with C++ in that googling will get
you about seventy two trillion hits every time)
