Find Text Dialog

The Find Text Dialog is provided for quick searching the text in the editor window.

Text to Find
Enter a search string. To select from a list of previously entered search strings, click the down arrow next to the input box.

   Case Sensitive
Differentiates uppercase from lowercase when performing a search.

   Whole words only
Searches for words only. (With this option off, the search string might be found within longer words.)

   Regular Expressions
Recognizes regular expressions in the search string.

Forward
Searches from the current position to the end of the file.
   
Backward
Searches from the current position to the beginning of the file.

Global
Searches the entire file, in the direction specified by the Direction setting.

Selected text
Searches only the selected text, in the direction specified by the Direction setting. You can use the mouse or block commands to select a block of text.

From cursor
The search starts at the cursor's current position, and then proceeds either forward to the end of the scope, or backward to the beginning of the scope depending on the Direction setting.

Entire scope
The search covers either the entire block of selected text or the entire file (no matter where the cursor is in the file), depending upon the Scope options.

When all the options are set, click 'OK'. If searched text is found, it becomes selected in the edit or view area. If text is not found, a message window 'String not found!' appears.
