congrats with big addition! that will require good description in Help file, specifically in examples.
yet, why no way to configure if to search in all files or only text? only text by default is totally legit, but to have a way to search all(like mentioned pictures) would be good too.

You mean search for bytes (0-255)?

probably.. cause as mere user i didn't fully understand this part:

Code: Select all

contchar:>=128          // characters beyond ASCII
contchar:>=256          // characters beyond ANSI
..that's why i said good description will be needed. :oops:

Code: Select all

        - Only double byte UTF-16 Unicode values are supported. The valid range 
          is from 0 to 65535 (0x0 to 0xFFFF).
I don't think searching raw bytes in binary files is very interesting.

probably i was too tired yesterday, only now i understood it's not about searching of contents of files, but about searching for presence of specific symbols in files, my bad. :mrgreen:
