#49 Grep in source directory

[Eur Ing Christopher Thoday]

When developing from a command line interface in Linux
I frequently use the grep command. A similar facility
is useful in MSVC. Unlike the existing Find which is
useful for stepping through a source file, the grep
shows a list of information. For example, in my first
project I did a grep on 'exit' and found that I had
somtimes used sys.exit and sometimes os.exit.

The results of the grep should be displayed in a tab
like the Prompt. Clicking on a file and line number
should change to that position in the edit window.
Because some of the width is taken up by the source
browser I suggest that the source file and line number
be given on one line and the source code on the
following line.

There are two plugins:
The "Find all" shows all occurences in the current open
source file.
The "SearchInFiles" looks through one ore more directories
with the possibility of a "preview".
I made a Screenshot at:
http://mitglied.lycos.de/drpython/SearchInFiles.png
if you press detail, all found strings are marked in red colour.
Of course, this plugin could be improved or writing a new one
for showing the search dialog and the results in a panel,
with a list of all occurances.
