EnScript to export x bytes around search hit with HTML report

A few weeks ago I posted an article and EnScript to export x bytes around a search hit. You can read about it here.

I received an email from a reader asking if I could modify it to create an HTML report of the search hits, with the search hit being highlighted in red and then some additional information in the report. Seeing how there was nothing interesting on TV, I took the time to modify the existing script to create an HTML report.

How it works:
Run your keyword search against your evidence. Once the search is complete, view your search hits, then select (blue check) the ones you want to export (one, many, all). Then run the EnScript. The EnScript will take each search hit that you have selected and carve out the text around the keyword depending on the before and after integer values you provided (2000 before and 2000 after is default). This new version will also create a simple HTML "Proximity Report" in your default export folder if you select the "Create HTML report" check box on the starting menu.



The HTML report is nothing fancy, but I guess it serves the purpose.



Both are written for EnCase v6

New version with HTML report
Old version with no HTML report
