I am looking for a gratis Windows program that can take a standard windows text file and search for occurrences of two user provided strings within N lines of each other, where N is user specified.
regex is "nice to have", as are bells & whistles, but just that functionality will suffice.
[Update] I am looking for an off the shelf solution - not something that requires me to code.
CudaText is gratis. It can do it via custom Python plugin.
Plugin should show dialog via dlg_input_ex() or dlg_input(), user enters a number there, then plugin reads all lines via ed.get_text_line(i) and finds needed lines. Then it places caret via ed.set_caret() or shows found lines in msg_box().
