Michael,
 
If you recall the thread of months past, most "Programmer's Editors" include
the ability to search a directory for occurrences of a given string.
 
"UltraEdit" for one allows you to recurse sub-directories, and generates a
report of directory/path/filename(s) and line numbers where your search text
was found.
