Thanks Patrick for input on this peculiar matter.
I´ll try it as soon as I can get help with the DOS-prompter from our computer experts.

Tomas,
I am also fond of the Windows/MS-DOS findstr command mentioned in the description of SSC/Find. I usually use the /i option(ignore case) and /s(search all sub-folders). You should type "help findstr" at the DOS prompt for complete list of options which include regular expression matching.
e.g. findstr/i/s tabout c:\work\*.do -- this would search for "tabout" string in all *.do files in folder c:\work as well as all sub-folders.
Now, you just have to figure out how to get the DOS command prompt in Windows 7 - it keeps getting more difficult(I am still at Windows XP). - Pat G.

Thanks Austin, Elizabeth and Nick for helpful advice.
-find- works fine to search within a current folder.
