2. But I have a problem if I use file names like "abc def.map" Grep wont work so I would have to change to single word file names or use underscore.

Put quotes around it, or do the sane thing: stay clear of blanks in filenames: tey're a pest. People using strictly only GUI tools are mostly unaware of the side effects, but trust an old commandline jockey: blanks in filenames are really more trouble than they're worth.

3. Main question. Is there a way to make the grep independent of a project folder?

Any external tool can be invoked with a full path, unless I'm very much mistaken. I.e. you can make the call

d:\where\ever\it\is\grep.exe "Total R" project.map

Or put a directory holding your personal collection of such tools (including grep) in the PATH once and for good --- that's what it exists for.

"blanks in filenames are really more trouble than they're worth."

Absolutely!

Let's just have it again, one more time:

Thanks, this worked for me

C:\tools\ grep.exe and grep.bat
grep.bat contains c:\tools\grep.exe "Total R" *.map

In Uvision output after make box c:\tools\Grep.bat

produces output like :-

User command #1: c:\tools\Grep.bat
C:\Program Files\Keil\ ARM\PROJECTS\Hello>c:\tools\grep.exe "Total R" *.map
Total RO Size  (Code + RO Data)          4936 (4.82kB)
Total RW Size  (RW Data + ZI Data)       1480 (1.45kB)
Total ROM Size (Code + RO Data + RW Data)4952 (4.84kB)
"Hello.axf" - 0 Error(s), 0 Warning(s).

I tried playing with XP's system variables but Path didn't seem to help (or I got it wrong). What happened to autoexec.bat? Wonder if there is there a way to get c:\tools\Grep.bat into run user program#1 by default?

Set the path:

Start->Control Panel->System->
Advanced Tab
"Environment Variables"

Hey... thanks for the GREP tips. I just realized that the uV3 IDE now supports executing user defined programs both BEFORE and AFTER doing the build. Now that's handy.

Thanks KEIL !!

Leslie, are you replying to my question, or something else? - If so thanks!
