Find In Path dialog box

The Find In Path dialog box searches for a string in all files in the directories specified in the search path. Search results are displayed in the Search tab in the message pane of the AppBrowser.

To open the Find In Path dialog box, choose Search|Find In Path.

Text To Find

Type in the string to search for. Previous search strings are available as options from the drop-down list.

Case sensitive

Checking this makes the search match the capitalization pattern used in the search string.

Pattern Match (? and *)

Use wildcard characters with the string to extend your search:

Replace With

Check this option to convert the search to a search-and-replace. Type in the string you want to substitute. Previous replacement strings are available from the drop-down list.

Search Path options

Provides options for defining the search path.

Specified Path

Select this option to specify a particular path. Use this when using a search path that doesn't fit one of the other Search Path options or when you want to retain the search path in the history list to use again later.

Previous search paths are available from the drop-down list.

Click the ellipsis (...) button to browse.

Path of current file

Searches the current file and, if specified below, the subdirectories below that file.

Project source path

Searches the source directories of the current project.

Full source path (project and libraries)

Searches the source directories and libraries of the current project.

Include Subdirectories

Makes the search recursive. All subdirectories in the search path are also searched for the string.

Restrict To

Filters the search so results are restricted to file names that match the pattern you set here. Type in a filter or choose from the drop-down history list. The wildcards ? and * are accepted.

OK button

Closes the dialog box and starts the search.

A Search Results statement appears in the message pane. Click the expansion widget to view the list of matches for your search. Select an item in the list to highlight the string match in the editor.

If there is no expansion widget next to the Search Results statement in the message pane, the search returned no results.
