Search
To search some contents in the loaded file, you can use the find function.
Show the find dialog in the following ways:
- Click ‘Edit/Find…’
- Click the Find icon in the toolbar which looks like this:
- Press Ctrl + F
Type the text you want to locate in the loaded file into the edit-box. There’re three kinds of matching patterns:
- String – find the content in the file that includes the whole string.
- Wildcard – check ‘Wildcard’, use wildcard characters to substitute for any other characters in a string. More information on Wildcard Patterns.
- Regular Expression - check ‘Reg-exp’ to use regular expression, which is a more flexible and powerful way of matching pattern. More information on Regular Expression Syntax.
Check ‘Case sensitive’ if you only want to match content that has exactly the same case as your searching text.
Check ‘Highlight results’ if you want all the searching results highlighted, the highlighting color is customizable.
Searching range can be selected (in a column or the whole loaded file).
Searching direction can be changed (up or down).
