Text Search Utility This utility has been discontinued. Instead, I have created a new one called ts.exe which is part of the dosutils set. The replacement, ts.exe is much more powerful while still being in essence a simple text search. It takes as a command line parameter the name of the text file to search. Also, it accepts a maximum of 8 separate search strings and searches like an internet search engine looking for lines containing a hit for each and every search string specified.
