Find...
Ctrl+F (Windows)
Alt+F (Motif)
|
Select this option to find text in an IDL Editor window or windows. The Search or Find/Replace dialog appears.
Enter the text to find in the field marked Search for or Find; click Find next to highlight the search text in the currently active file.
Platform Differences
- On Windows platforms, you can also choose an entry from the pulldown list of recent search terms rather than entering a new term in the Search for field.
- On Windows platforms, you can specify replacement text by checking the Replace with checkbox and entering a replacement term. Click Replace to replace the selected text.
Check the Case sensitive checkbox to match the case of the text you enter. Check Whole words only to match only entire words (the default is to match sub-strings). To replace all instances of the search text, check the Replace all checkbox and click Replace. Select Forward from cursor or Backward from cursor to specify the direction in which you would like to begin the search, or Entire file to search from the beginning of the file.
By default, the search will take place in the currently-selected window. Choose a different file or All Windows from the pulldown list marked Search in file to search other windows.
