Windows text editor that shows/hides lines based on RegEx or Grep syntax?

logging, regex, text-editor, windows

Solution

GVim with for example, :g command. There are also plugins that allow entering search criteria, and they show relevant lines, and fold everything else.

Problem

One of my application components produces some extremely hairy log files. They require a lot of poking and prodding before they produce useful information. I'm on the hunt for a text editor for windows that will let me enter text in either RegEx or Grep-style syntax, and automatically show/hide the relevant lines. Does anyone know of a text editor that has this feature? Thanks! IVR Avenger
