Searching for strings in files using Windows Explorer - Grrrr
|
|
|
|
|
I frequently fin myself looking a particular phrase in my code and it seems the only (seemingly) simple way is to search for the word using Windows Explorer. So I set up a search for the term, say its "CurrentTab' as the phrase in a file and I let Windows look. It doesn't find anything at all. I can not understand why. CLW files are simple text files (not the same extension) yet the search can not find stuff in them.
Do I have to tell Windows what kind of file it is? Should I try using a different editor (I am on CW 6) or can I somehow tell CW 6 to use my CW 7 Editor?
How do you all search for phrases in a folder full of .clw files?

Hi!
Have you tried File -> Search Files in your Clarion IDE?

In addition to the other suggestions, I use Textpad's search feature. Very fast. And you can open all files where the string was found or just the one your are most interested.
