Hello, I need to search a group of files and find the character ?

How can I do that

Just press Alt+F7, enable text search and type ? into find text field.

That worked thanks. Not sure why it didn't work the first time. Is there a way to save the results?

Great that you found it!

It won't work if you enable HEX or RegEx text search options.

Ok, I tried this on two different computers, both Win7 Pro 64bit.... and I get different results? Why would that be?

Please try to search within the same folder (copy), also check that same checkboxes are enabled in both cases. Maybe describe exact steps used to get different results.
