Sometimes this makes it easier, sometimes harder. Grep comes to mind.<br /><br />Check out BareTail if you want to watch log files in real time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728014380144489730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157881265969801285.post-3406917093998541352011-06-24T11:00:55.795-04:002011-06-24T11:00:55.795-04:00Nice post!

It doesn't have the middle-click (gotta go through the app menu in the window chrome), but it also lets you Minimize to Tray. StexBar is also pretty neat-o, lets you create your own buttons on the Explorer button bar.<br /><br />Maybe due to my *nix background, I also install Cygwin (including sshd which allows me to use Cygwin through PuTTY rather than cmd.exe), grepWin (regular expression per-directory content search), and Tail for Win32 (to watch log files). (In addition to Tail I install Less for Windows and hook it up to StexBar, then use Shift+F to watch files).Mike McGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11003350991829683983noreply@blogger.com
