Find in files

GWD Text Editor Forum: Suggestions: Find in files
Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of pageLink to this message  By William on Tuesday, June 13, 2000 - 07:56 pm:

It would be useful to have a "Find in files" search option. As it is, I see only the ability to search in one file at a time. Or am I wrong?

You can use GREP command from the Tools menu. This command searches for a text in multiple files. There is also less powerful Find Files command.

I use the search more than replace to make sure that I find all occurances of a string in certain directories.

It would be cool if you could search all files, open the files that contain the string, and somehow highlight the strings instead of prompt.

Also, if a string to the left is found while the screen is scrolled to the right, you cannot see the string when the prompt comes up.

With the Grep command you can search all the files within a directory and the GWD Text Editor will display files and lines that contain the searched string, and you just need to double click at those lines to open file and position cursor to line that contain searched string.

I prefer File->"Find File" to Search->"Find in Files". I wish the Find File output dialog box was not modal (would stay alive after opening a file) and allowed multiple files to be selected for opening. Also the "Find File" search directory resets to some default "D:" each time it is used; it would be nice it it retained the previous setting.

Here's a more comprehensive solution for those wish to find text in files within a subtree, and also have clickable output (where you click the line and the file opens in at the specified line):
1. You will need to get find.exe and grep.exe utilities that follow the Unix style, such as MKS utils.
2. Place these in the projDir directory (usually C:\GTEdit\)
3. From the Options->tools dialog select "Add" and brows to the find.exe util.
4. The above just created a new tool, in the new tool's Arguments field put: . -type f -exec grep -in $(CurText) {} C:\dummyfile ;
5. In the initial directory field put: $(FileDir)
6. Check both "prompt for arguments" and "redirect to output window" boxes
7. Outside of the Editor, create an empty file called C:\dummyfile

OK we're done!
Now use this sweet find by selecting Tools->Find while standing on the text you want to search for.

And like any other tool it can be added to the Toolbar using Options->customize toolbar.

Enjoy
