Search For Tab - Find/Replace in Files Dialog Box
Search For Tab
The Search For tab contains the following options:
-
Find
—The string or regular expression to search for. When the Regular Expression option is enabled, you can specify a regular expression. This control contains a ring control you can use to select a previously used string.
- Match Case —Specifies whether the matching of characters is case-sensitive or case-insensitive. For example, if CHR is the specified text and you enable the Match Case option, TestStand finds CHR but not Chr .
- Match Whole Word Only —Finds the specified text only when the characters surrounding it are spaces, punctuation marks, or other characters not considered parts of a word. TestStand treats the following characters as part of a word: A through Z , a through z , 0 through 9 , and the underscore ( _ ).
- Regular Expression —If you enable this option, TestStand treats certain characters in the Find text box as regular expression characters instead of literal characters.
-
Search in
—Use the following controls to specify the files in which to search:
- Opened File —TestStand searches in an open sequence file. In the ring control, you can choose Station Globals, Type Palettes, Users, or any open sequence file.
- All Sequence Files under Directory —Searches in all sequence files located in the directory you specify and any subdirectories.
- Specific Sequence Files —Searches in all of the sequence files listed in the list control. Use Add Files , Remove , and Remove All to edit the list of files to search.
- All Sequence Files in Current Workspace —Searches in all sequence files the currently opened workspace contains. This option is available only when a workspace is open.
- All Open Sequence Files —Searches in all currently opened sequence files in the TestStand Sequence Editor .
- Recursively Search Sequence Files Called as Subsequences —Specifies that for each sequence file in which you search, the search includes any subsequence files the sequence file calls.
