Re: Looking for an abstract tool

Have you looked at WinGrep? I think it comes close to doing
what you want  - you type in the search string and point it
to the directory and comes up with a list of lines in files
that contain the search string. You double click, it takes
you there, you copy the filename, ...

And they have a free download.

HTH!
