Hello

A little request

Sometimes i like to search in the code like -> #Objectdat+put+sina

Hi Horst,

Sorry, I did not understand what you mean. Can you please give me an example?

I suppose, he wants to "OR" some search terms.
What should be possible, if one uses the "Regex" checkbox (what i never tried, hadn't noticed this option is available...)

[Chris]

Hi Karl & Horst,

Ah right thanks, in that case, that's what regional expression searching is for. If you don't want to learn how to construct regional expressions (I don't and don't want to!), that's one of the few usages of AI that I like, you can ask it "Get me a regional expression that searches for 'abc' and 'test'" !

But I see in XIDE I have not included regional expression support for regular search, that's only available in Search In FIles (the "Reg Exp" checkbox). You can use that and select for the option "Search In" only "Current File".

Hello Chris

How is the syntax to search ? i tried ' '#Objectdat .and. put .and. sina' in the searchfield and others.

you said only in the current file. i like to search in the whole project. So i can see , where i am using a database field (as example)

Horst,
first: The "regex" search is ONLY implemented für "Find in Files", not in "Find" - so, good for you.
second: #Objectdat .and. put .and. sina'
It's unclear, what you want to find here - probably all three of them will be somewhere in your prgs in the project. But "AND" usually servers to narrow the hit list, so i can't imagine, what the result in your case should look like...

My KI says:

(?=.*#Objectdat)(?=.*\bput\b)(?=.*\bsina\b)

might do, what you want - "It finds matches in a text that contains all three terms, regardless of the order or distance between them."

Hallo Karl

i wanna find all lines with "SELF:odbSina:FIELDPUT (#ObjektDat"

Between fieldput and ( i have sometimes 1 space and sometimes more then 1 space and i tried (?=.*#Objectdat)(?=.*\bput\b)(?=.*\bsina\b) but doesnt work.

As i understand Chris it work in 'Find in files' but only in 'current file' not over the whole project so i dont need it.

What Chris wrote: The regex option is only available in the Find in Files dialog. There you may restrict the search range to the current file, but the default is "Project", which is, as i think, what you want.

Hi Horst,

Did you check the "Reg Exp" checkbox in the find in files dialog?
