While I'm not fluent in it, there are some commands I've gotten rather engrained... get-childitem -recurse -filter "*.ad*" | select-string -pattern "with" finds all the Ada (GNAT convention .ads/.adb) files containing "with" statements. And pattern probably is a regex so I could fine tune it to just the package withs by using a start of line marker... -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
