    Search for a string within all asp pages in a folder?

    Is there any fast way to search for a specific string within all the files
    in a folder at a same time?

    Thanks a lot.

      "at the same time" with ASP-vbs or ASP-js:

      No! ASP is single treaded.

      And you probably do not have a multi processor server. ;-)

      You could load all the files in to strings and then search them,
      overloading your memory perhaps, gaining no speed, unless you do repeating
      "till-found" searches with different search strings.

      "fast" with ASP-vbs or ASP-js:

      That depends on your perception of time and the number and size of the
      files in such serverside directory.

      Since you are on foot anyway, pedestrian,
      just read the files one at a time into a string
      and search them with regex.
      JS regex will show visually friendlier code, vbs works as well.

      Or perhaps look for an application external to ASP?

          What type of files are they?
          Do you have index server installed?

              Are you talking about using server-side script in an asp page to do this?
              Or are you talking more from a code-maintenance/administrative viewpoint? A
              text file editor like WildEdit might help in this case.
