AstroGrepAstroGrep is a Microsoft Windows grep utility. Grep is a UNIX command-line program which searches within files for keywords. AstroGrep supports regular expressions, versatile printing options, stores most recently used paths and has a "context" feature which is very nice for looking at source code.
AstroGrep v4.2.1 Released!
We plan on updating again in the future with a slightly newer user interface given that we are using .Net v3.5 SP1. We also are looking at adding some features requested by our users. Look for it in the future!
Posted on January 24, 2012
We fixed a few issues with v4.2.0 beta and released them as v4.2.1. This includes some graphic issues with the display of search settings area. Also, we fixed the version number displayed in the about dialog and for the
binary file. We fixed the issue where the language you selected wasn't used on startup. A new option for the results area was added to support the back color of the result search text.

Bulgarian translation

Albert Ward was nice enough to translate this page into Bulgarian. Though for some reason the page only works intermittently and at other times says "page not found".
New project admin being sought
Posted on November 4, 2011
Its been awhile since any active development has been done on AstroGrep. I'm trying to find someone new to take
over the project. Its not a huge project and should be manageable by a single person.
Thanks for using AstroGrep all these years everyone.
Version 4.1.4 Released
Posted on September 27, 2007
This is a bug fix release to re-allow 10 context lines. It also updates the Microsoft Word plugin to handle .docx files and
the 'Recurse' search option has been renamed to 'Search subfolders' for the English version.
Version 4.1.3 Released
Posted on August 21, 2007
This is a bug fix release to remove the bug reported by an anonymous user that will disable AstroGrep in a certain condition.
Version 4.1.2 Released
Posted on August 13, 2007
Well, we decided to release a maintenance release to fix a major bug that has been sitting around. All configuration files
are now saved in the Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\AstroGrep\ folder. This will prevent the config files
from being saved in the current directory when using the right-click search option. This release should close out all open bugs
as well. Unfortunately, we were unable to work on the GTK# version of the GUI. Now that this release is done though, we can
concentrate on the GTK# version and some new features that have been requested. Most of the requested features are done, but we
just didn't put them into this build. (View Changelog)
