Here's a simple Python script that will do it. It's not very
sophisticated, but it's easy to modify for special cases.
import os, string
def Find(TargetString, DIR, Names):
for Name in Names:
if Name != "Search.py":
try:
TargetFile = DIR + "/" + Name
Blob = open(TargetFile, "r").read()
if Blob.find(TargetString) > -1:
print TargetFile
except IOError:
pass
return
TargetString = 'telnetlib'
print "\nFinding " + TargetString + "\n---------------\n"
os.path.walk(".", Find, TargetString)

Subject: [Tutor] Searching across .Py files for a particular
string/character
Hi Folks,
I was wondering what would be the best way to look up a string across
different files in the Python interpreter (PythonWin 2.4). The find
function only finds files within currently open files. If I have a
folder of .py scripts and need to look up a specific keyword or string
among all these files within the project folder, is there any method
that you'd recommend?
For eg: Visual Studio 6.0 can look for a string across numerous files
indexed in a project and returns a list of files containing that
specific string.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Janesh
