Hi,

I'd like to know if FileSeek can do the following.

I'd like to search through files that contain "TextA" AND "TextB" on different lines then produce a report that contains a specified number of lines following both search results.

I can see that FileSeek can do this for one search query (for example, searching for just "TextA") but I'd like a report for files with "TextA" AND "TextB" on different lines then display these lines and a specified number of following lines in csv format for import to a spreadsheet.

You can definitely do this! There are a few steps:

On the Tools > Settings > Search tab, enable the "Also export extra lines when saving search results" option
On the Advanced tab, make sure to set "Match query to each line in file" and set the "Show this many lines..." options

I've attached some screenshots for reference. Please let us know if you run into any trouble at all.

Thanks!
