Depending upon what you are wanting to do I might mention that emacs dired can be very powerful here. I am often doing C-x d to start dired. Then using: C-x d RET ;; open directory dired % g REGEXP <RET> ;; mark all files containing pattern Q REGEXP <RET> TO <RET> ;; Perform query-replace-regexp on marked files If nothing else then % g is a native emacs way to search contents of files and should handle unicode as well as for other tasks. And for work within a single buffer there is M-x occur too. Bob
