Can someone please suggest a good free "file finder" for windows (10)?
Not an "indexing" one, but a well-done regexp thing that can also search inside text files, collect the matching lines etc. (hope I was clear )
Thanks in advance
Edit/PS:
This is TextMate (Mac):
Edit 2:
Dear Wise Admins, I swear I also have win10! (anyway who cares? This thread should be interesting anyway)

I once liked the "Search and Replace" program, but it's paid, so I made an analog of that program. It's concise, there's nothing superfluous, no distracting elements.
Thanks!
Did you see other stuff like cygwin etc.? Is MSYS2 better?
I think it's good to have "unix" under your fingers…
Edit/PS:
try some "advanced piping" stuff (like do something on video's audio with ffmpeg and then remux, all on the same "command line"): if it works well, then it's well done

I personally recommend WSL, I use windows as my host but spend 80% of my life in Linux via WSL. I just SSH in via PuTTY because I don't like the default terminal.
In fact, most of my PB forum posts, this one included, have been written and posted from within WSL, using Edbrowse.
Thanks!

I used MSYS2 to get clang and mingw64. But with winlibs I also get GCC, so I switched. Also had troubles with newer versions of MSYS2 on Win7. Only keeping MSYS2 for the unix tools . Don't know if cygwin is better or not...
When I tried (ffmpeg 6 win10 64) the audio was horrible, but if I did it in 2 passages, via intermediate audio file (with a .bat , no piping) it worked well
