To search for a given character string in a source file, select Source... from the Search menu. A dialog, shown in Figure 5.19, enables you to specify the target character string, and the file to be searched.

Figure 5.19. Searching for a string in a source file

You can search upwards or downwards, and specify case sensitivity, whether whole words only must be considered, and whether after reaching one end of the file the search continues from the other end.

When you start the search, a listing of the source file shows the lines surrounding the first occurrence of the target string, with the characters highlighted. The Find Next button enables you to search for the next occurrence.
