Windows 10, Emacs 26.1.
I need to find all files that content specific text ,e,g. ("hello"). I need to specify:
- is case sensitive
- is search also in all subfolders
- to find by some text and by regexp
- The result must show in separate buffer (e.g. Result)
- does not depend on the external grep tool
I know about grep tool. But it not very comfortable.
find
andgrep
installed and visible to Emacs (and in general it's very sensible to do so), then you can just useM-x rgrep
grep
-- there are alternatives (ripgrep
is well-regarded) -- but havinggrep
installed is highly recommended, even if you also install alternatives. Any solution which does not rely on an external tool will not be the best possible tool for the job.grep
. Your question might be more appropriate for a discussion site such as Reddit.
