does windows have any commands similar to grep?
i need to search many huge proxy logs (40 meg average txt files) for a specific ip addresse and put this info into a seperate txt file. this will take days manually. im desperately looking for a way to speed this up.

Gary,
Just maybe this will help:
GREP for Windows

You can also do a regular search in Windows which will allow you to select the file type and dictate a specific piece of text that is expected to be found in the file. (Depending on your version of Windows, click on Start-Find/Search-Files or Folders, Advanced tab.) Unfortunately, although each file would be detected, you would need to open each .txt file and find the data line that you want.
Hope this helps.
