Total Commander

After a search in files I would like to be able to send the file to my favorite editor and position the editor on the line containing the search term.

Instead of just listing the files that match the search result could list all the lines that match just like the unix command "grep". Then with additional configuration for F4 I could tell my editor which line number to jump to.

I just realized that my own favourite editor Metapad also supports it (/g row:col) - shame on me

EditPad Pro supports too.

PSPad supports it too.
