Finder

image1

The Finder utility searches throughout the current post processor, control emulator or model, looking for questions, dialogs or other customizations that match the specified text. The results are listed in the Finder window (at the bottom right), where they can be selected to bring you directly to where the searched text was found (i.e., question, dialog…).

Find what: Text to find. Sorry, no wild cards.

Match whole word only: Only match the result if it is surrounded by punctuation or spacing.

Match case: Normally the case of letters (uppercase/lowercase) is ignored. When this checkbox is selected, the case of letters is significant.

Search in: Use this option to restrict the search to text found in one or more of the following. They are all searched by default.

  • Prompts: in the short question prompts

  • Descriptions: in the detailed question descriptions

  • Answers: in the question responses

  • Dialogs: in the Dialog section (dialogs are searched using their XML format)

  • Tables: in the Control Emulator CODE and DATA customization tables

  • Comments: in the General Description / Comments section

  • Macros: in macro code excluding comments

  • Macro comments: in the comments portion of macro code

  • Tape Editor: in Tape Editor search and replacement strings

Search modified questions only: Select this checkbox to restrict the search to only those questions that have been modified (i.e., that are different from the basic post or internal CAM-POST defaults). The search string can be empty, to list all questions whose responses are different from the default.
