Thanks Kenneth! :-)There are a few minor porblems with it, though: *It's slow (try searching a couple of thousands of files - I did). *As far as I can see, you can only search the content of one folder at a time - and the search will always include *all* the files in that folder. *You don't have access to all the functions of the [SEARCH] command. A different approach would be to put the content of all the text files into a database. Then you can replace the files (if you still need them) with WebDNA templates getting their content from the database.It's crude - and not nearly as fun as Kenneth's solution. But the searches are much faster, and you can use all the search functions of WebDNA.
