PSEverything and Search-Regex.ps1

[nightroman]

PSEverything is the PowerShell module for very fast file system searches.
Its command Search-Everything finds the specified files and returns their full paths.

Search-Regex.ps1 is the PowerShellFar script for searching for regex patterns in files.
The results are shown in the panel for opening in the editor with found matches selected.

Search-Regex is particularly useful when used with Search-Everything results as input.

Input may be specified by Search-Everything in the Search-Regex dialog, e.g.

    Pattern : BS
    Options : ww
    Input   : Search-Everything -Extension lua -Global -PathInclude macro

Alternatively, Search-Everything results may be sent to Search-Regex via pipeline:

# open the dialog for a regex pattern and options
Search-Everything -Extension lua -Global -PathInclude macro | Search-Regex

# search for whole words "BS" and open the result panel
Search-Everything -Extension lua -Global -PathInclude macro | Search-Regex BS ww

Alternatively, Search-Everything results may be sent to the object panel first:

# output found file paths to the panel
Search-Everything -Extension lua -Global -PathInclude macro | Out-FarPanel

Then you may start Search-Regex and in the dialog specify the input as
Get-FarPath -All or Get-FarPath -Selected to search in all panel
files or selected files.
