|
 |
i wonder if such thing is possible. I have 1000+ nfo files and i have to retrieve only those which contain a specific word within them. I tried windows xp's search function (it lets you search for text through files) but it doesn't work.
I was thinking about a program which can convert nfo files to txt, that way i could use windows's search function as it reads txt files pretty well, but i haven't found it yet.
any suggestions?

could just create a batch file that automatically renames the .nfo to .txt

windows key + R
cmd
enter
for /R c:\ %i in (*.nfo) do ren "%i" "%~dpni.txt"
enter
Will search all folders on c:\ and rename nfo to txt.
As an alternative you could use
findstr /l /s /i /c:"SEARCHTEXT" c:\*.nfo
to list all nfo files in c:\ and subfolders which contain SEARCHTEXT

or you could simply download notepad++ which is free and search within files.
Click search, then within files, specify the folder and the search string. voilá

I found this the other day while looking to do the same thing.

You can add *.nfo as a file extension and let it search.
