I love the “Find in Files” functionality in EmEditor, since I let me choose file externsions and what character encoding to use. Now I’d like to askwhether there is a find option that lets me find only in text files.

It is really useful when I want to deal with an unfamilar software. I’d like to find a string(probably a configuration name or its value) in all files within that software’s directory, but I cannot figure out what file extensions to find(maybe .ini .cfg .bat .xml or something else), so the best strategy is to find in all text files.

Thanks for your opinions. Currently, there is no way to specify only “Binary” files, but you can specify inclusive files types. In the Advanced dialog, you can also specify exclusive file types. I hope this will help. Thanks!
