With this program you can easily browse a list of files to open file one after each other. It will also display a list with text lines which contained the text you searched for. For source code files (and XML) my program supports syntax highlighting.
There is also an an integrated "shell" window which can be used to display a Context menu for certain files or as drag&drop source or -destination.
If you do not need to search for text, you can use this porogram also to display text files or binary files if they were text files.
This program may be used freely at your own risk, as long as it is only downloaded from my website:

Example script to start from XYPlorer
Code: Select all
::openwith("""SearchAndDisplay.exe"" -search -path ""<curpath>"" -mask ""*.pas;*.dfm""" )
....SearchAndDisplay.exe
to send (all) the selected files to this program. The filenames will be listed in the list to the left and you can click ocertein items to open, not open all at once as it would be done in other programs. The files are opened readonly at start. To disable the readonly mode go to the "Edit" menu.
Note: In the search dialog the field paths and mask support lists of entries seperated by ";". Using drag&drop you can add paths and file names from XY.
Please let me know if there are ideas or questions.
