file content not matching docx files #389

Closed akivalib closed 1 year ago

akivalib commented 1 year ago

I have been using grepwin happily for about a year. Thanks! Today, however, it seems not to be generating matches from docx files -- if I understand my problem, but it will match content from pdfs or stata do files (which are just text files). It does not seem to matter whether I do a text or regex search (I have also tried treating the files as UTF9 and binary, neither of which helped.) What might I be doing wrong? (I was using version 2.0.11 but just dowloaded the latest version, 2.0.13.1197; problem is unchanged.)

docx files are not text files but zipped xml files. So grepWin won't find what you're looking for.

Thanks very much for clarifying. I thought i had previously included docx files, but I guess I misremembered.
