I don't recall if MPEX has been mentioned, but it does specifically have a
"keepamdates" option ehancement to the print command. [primarily for the
reason you mention here -- so as not to update the "last access date" when
merely "searching"]
There are also a number of enhanced "file attribute functions", such as
FCONTAINS and FSEARCHSTRING/FSEARCHEXP. The first simply returns yea/nea as
to whether the file contains the string, and FSEARCH... returns the number
of lines found that match either the explicit string given or the "search
expression". Actually, FCONTAINS is a specialized version of FSEARCHEXP --
the "expression" is "found > 0"...
Because these are "attributes", they can be used in fileset selection
criteria, so you could do something like this:
%repeat
% echo ![strwrite(mpexcurrentfile:26,' ',rfile.fsearchstring(<target>)]
%forfiles <fileset>(fcontains(<target>)
[note: I haven't checked in a while, but I believe the enhanced attribute
functions do not update the last access dates]
<target> is obviously the string you're looking for, note it needs to be
supplied twice
<fileset> is the source fileset you're interested in, in standard LISTF
format (@.SOURCE, for instance)
