| PowerGREP 4 |
 PowerGREP is probably the most powerful regex-based text processing tool available today. A knowledge worker's Swiss army knife for searching through, extracting information from, and updating piles of files. |
| Use regular expressions to search through large numbers of text and binary files. Quickly find the files you are looking for, or extract the information you need. Look through just a handful of files or folders, or scan entire drives and network shares. |
| Search and replace using text, binary data or one or more regular expressions to automate repetitive editing tasks. Preview replacements before modifying files, and stay safe with flexible backup and undo options. |
| Use regular expressions to rename files, copy files, or merge and split the contents of files. Work with plain text files, Unicode files, binary files, compressed files, and files in proprietary formats such as MS Office, OpenOffice, and PDF. Runs on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, and 8. |
