Finding objects


The Find feature allows you to find objects in the explorer window based on various criteria and options.

The search mechanism is based on regular expressions (grep see below for explanation). Also, objects to find and selected options and scope that you previously looked for will be kept in memory during the current session.

To use this feature, select Edit > Find from the main menu. Or click the Find tool located in the Edit toolbar. The following window will appear.




Options Note: A regular expression consists of a character string where some characters are given special meaning with regards to pattern matching. grep allows the string argument to be specified as a regular expression, which is a way of specifying a string that allows certain metacharacters (special keyboard characters such as the period) to stand for other characters or to further define the way the pattern matching should work.


Scope If you wish to narrow your search down, perform it at the model level instead of the project level.
