A windows console text search program similar to grep, but better. Scrolling search results and enough modes to forget about. Drop it in C:/Windows or put it on your PATH and just fire away a ts in the commandline for help.
TS is feature packed with programming specific switches such as /var, /ptr, /instr and /infunc as well as the capability to use a config file to add custom switches for commonly used regular expressions. These regexes will be System.String.Format'ed if they contain a {0} sequence to take the entered query parameter. If {0} is not contained in the regex then the regex is considered to be parameterless and can be used without entering query text (such as grabbing all email addresses from files in a directory, with /mu to only take the unique email addresses that's pretty useful).
# Nasty email ripping regex, doesn't require parameters
/email = ([\da-zA-Z_-]+)@([\da-zA-Z_-]+).([\da-zA-Z_-]{2,6})?
# use as `ts . /s /mu /email` to grab all emails
Custom switches can also just be a collection of switches:
# standard code search switches
/code = /l /o cpp hpp c h cxx hxx cs
TS also includes rudimentary binary file searching for reverse engineering or identifying offsets into blobs.
