Morning All

Found an interesting thing I thought I'd share. If you've installed cygwin on your pc, you have access to all the good ol' shell commands... 'grep' being the one of specific interest.

The thing I didn't realise was the ability to run DOS based commands in the cygwin shell and pipe the output to grep.

Visual Studio has DUMPBIN.EXE which gives information on dlls. So in the cygwin shell you could do this:-

DUMPBIN.EXE /EXPORTS "c:\Qt\3.3.4\bin\qt-mt334.dll" |grep QComboTableItem

to list QComboTableItem exports in qt-mt334.dll.

No more paging through reams of function names hoping you dont miss the one you were looking for.
