Searching in programs

You can use the search function to quickly arrive at points where you would like to make
changes, e.g. in very large programs.
Various search options are available that enable selective searching.

● Whole words
● Exact expression
Note
Search with place holders
When searching for specific program locations, you have the option of using place holders:
• "*": Replaces any character string
• "?": Replaces any character
Requirement

Activate this option and enter a search term if you want to search for texts/terms that are
present as words in precisely this form.
If, for example, you enter the search term "Finishing tool", only single "Finishing tool"
terms are displayed.
Activate this option if you want to search for place holders in program lines (e.g. "*" or "?")
that you want to replace.
