Sorry guys, I did not know where to post this question.

I need to search all my .asp and html files for a field name.

The name of the field is SchlDstrct.

I have over 2,500 pages and have run into some kind of weird problem with
this field in my databases.

It goes without sayin that I cannot remember where I used this variable name.

I have used the standrad search on my server, but it never finds the name.

How can I get this done?

Thank You in Advance

John

In a similar situation I use a VBScript program that searches for files that
contain one (or up to three) specified strings. The program is linked here:

http://www.rlmueller.net/FindFiles.htm

I run the script at a command prompt, and if their are many hits I redirect
the output to a text file. The page also mentions a utility called FindStr
that can also be used, if it is available (I think it's new on Vista).

What app are you using to manage your code? Homesite and Visual Web Studio
both have tools that allow you to search a director for a string and return
a list of files with locations that containt the string.

it's standard on XP, not sure about 9x, though.
