General Software Discussion / multi string search in file

« on: November 05, 2008, 07:00 PM »

hi,

I have a list(1)

aaaa
bbbb
cccc
dddd
eeee
ffffff
eeee
bbbb

and I would like to search for list(2)

aaaa
eeee
xxxx

in list(1)

Is there any gui tool / text editor which can,
1) accept infile for "find what" or multiple lines of input in "find what"
2) highlight found items in the text, corresponding to any line of the "find what" patterns

I want to see something like this.

aaaa
bbbb
cccc
dddd
eeee
ffffff
eeee
bbbb

Hope I am clear enough . 

I dont want to format my "find what" strings into regular expressions, every time I do such a search.

Thanks.
