Finding Strings

You can search for a text string in the Source window.

To find a text string:

  1. Click the Find/Replace button.

    The Find/Replace dialog box appears.

  2. Enter a search string in the Find field or select one from the drop-down list.
  3. Select one of the following radio buttons to specify the search direction:
    • Forward (default)

    • Backward

  4. Select one of the following radio buttons to specify the search scope:
    • All (default)

    • Selected Lines

  5. Check one or more of the following check boxes to specify search options:
    • Case sensitive

      When you check this option, upper and lower case spelling is considered. Only terms that match exactly the upper and lower case spelling are displayed.

    • Whole word

      When you check this option, only words matching the specified term are displayed.

    • Regular expressions

      When you check this option, the debugger searches for strings containing regular expressions, such as hello\.*mm. The debugger's regular expression engine uses the Java* class java.util.regex. See www.sun.com for more information.

      Press Ctrl+Space in the Find field to view context-sensitive help on regular expressions.

    • Wrap search

      When you check this option, when the debugger reaches the end of the file, it starts searching from the beginning of the file.

    • Incremental

      When you check this option, the debugger searches for the search string as you enter it. For example, when you type n, the debugger searches for n immediately. When you add e, it searches for ne.

  6. Click Find.

    The search for the string is initiated from the current position in file. Search results are highlighted.
