Searching for specific text in your game reports
I use the following method to find specific bases or units in my SigInt reports. The search allows me to find every turn when a base or unit is mentioned. I keep all of my previous turns, and they are in the SAVE directory. This can be done for the SigInt reports (asigint and jsigint), combat reports (combatreport), and operations reports (aoperationsreport and joperationsreport).I am using Windows 10.
1. Open up a DOS window. You can find this by clicking on the Start button in the lower left, scroll down to "Windows System" and pick it, and pick "Command Prompt".
2. Change the directory to where your saved files are. An example is:
cd\Matrix Games\Mygame\SAVE
You are now at the location where your saved game files are. If you are the Allied player, and want to search every SigInt report in your game, and look for every place that Singapore is mentioned, type:
findstr Singapore asigint*.txt
For the Japanese player, you would type:
findstr Singapore jsigint*.txt
Case matters for what you are searching for. You'll need to know the exact name of units to search for them. The * means that any character or characters can be in that spot. That's how it finds all of the applicable files. In this example, the file has to start with asigint and end with .txt, but can have any characters in between.
I know that there are player utilities that probably use this type of search, but I'm not familiar with them. This works for me.
Another example. I want to search every combat report for the Yamato. I type:
findstr Yamato combatreport*.txt
This procedure allows you to quickly search through all of your past turns for something specific. Hope this helps.
