    Hi all, i want to search for files containing particular phrase, just like windows "A word or phrase in file:" utility in search option. Does anybody knows any windows API or programming logic for this issue?

      1. Open file 2) Read contents into buffer 3) Search buffer for phrase 4) Close file

          They are xml files and i have to search for value of particular node. Reading the file and using MSXML is better option or taking it in CString and calling .find() will be a better option?

            You could always try TinyXml and compare the two approaches. That way you'll know which is the best for your situation.
