Free text editor that can search for multiple words

[Howski]

Hi,

I'm looking for a free text editor that can search for a list of key words in a tab delimited text file, can anyone recommend one? Failing that could it be done via the use of macros in Excel?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thanks for the response. As an example: say I had a tab delimited text file containing the following


dog,cat,horse,cow,bird,worm

I would like to search using a list like below:

dog,cow

and for it to return the hits.

The reason for this is I would like to search for a list of reserved words in huge tab delimited files. As the list is long pasting them in one at a time is not an option.

Thanks
