You can use Find and Find Next to search your
current view for specific text or a regular expression. It is
available in the following views: Source, Disassembly,
Command, Call Stack, and Threads. A blue line
highlights the current view.
You can choose to search for matching upper/lower case and to direct
the search toward the beginning or end of the file. The cursor is
moved to the next match in the file, and the matching text is
highlighted.
To find text or a regular expression
- On the Edit menu, click Find.
- In the Find box, type the text or regular expression that
you want to find. If you use regular expressions, ensure that the
Regular Expression check box is selected.
Unless the Regular Expression check box is selected, the
text you enter in the Find box is matched literally. For
example, wildcard characters are not supported.
- Select the settings for your search:
- Match Case - If this option is checked, the case of
each letter must match; otherwise a match can occur regardless
of case.
- Regular Expression - If this option is checked, the
text in the Find box is interpreted as a regular
expression for matching a pattern.
- Direction - The Up or Down options
direct the search toward the beginning or end of the source
file. The search begins at the current cursor location and wraps
around to the opposite end of the document.
- Click Find Next to begin the search. The cursor is moved
to the next match in the file, and the matching text is highlighted.
- When you are finished, click Cancel to close the dialog
box.
Find Next searches for the next occurrence of the text or
regular expression specified the last time you used Find.
To find the next match
- On the Edit menu, click Find Next. The cursor is
moved to the next match in the file, and the matching text is
highlighted.
- Click the
toolbar button to open the Find dialog box. The last text
string for which you searched is entered in the Find text
box.
- To find text in a specific view, click in that view.
