    Guys,

    Looking to develop an app that will allow me to search a directory of .doc files for particlar keywords. If it finds that keyword i want to extra a couple of lines above/below that.

    Anybody know of an API that can do this for me in an Programming language.

    Windows explorer will allow you to do a text search on a folder so there's an API call there somewhere. Somebody else probably knows what its called.
