Mgrep

Key

Unassigned

The Mgrep function searches all the files listed in the Mgreplist macro. PWB places all matches in the Search Results window. Under multithreaded environments, PWB performs the search in the background.

To browse the list of matches, use _pwbnextlogmatch (CTRL+SHIFT+F3), _pwbpreviouslogmatch (CTRL+SHIFT+F4), and the Nextsearch function (Unassigned).

Mgrep (Unassigned)

Searches for the previously searched string or pattern.

Arg Mgrep (ALT+A Unassigned)

Searches for the string specified by the characters from the cursor to the first blank character.

Arg textarg Mgrep (ALT+A textarg Unassigned)

Searches for textarg.

Arg Arg Mgrep (ALT+A ALT+A Unassigned)

Searches for the regular expression specified by the characters from the cursor to the first blank character.

Arg Arg textarg Mgrep (ALT+A ALT+A textarg Unassigned)

Searches for the regular expression specified by textarg.

Meta ... Mgrep (F9 ... Unassigned)

As above except that the value of the Case switch is reversed for the search.

Returns

True

With MS-DOS, indicates that a match was found. With multithreaded environments, indicates that a background search was successfully initiated.

False

No matches, no search pattern specified, search pattern invalid, or search terminated by CTRL+BREAK.

Update

In PWB 2.00, search and build results and their browsing functions are separate. A background build operation and a background search can be performed simultaneously.

In PWB 1.x, search and build results appear in the same window, and are browsed with the same commands. A background build operation and a multifile search cannot be performed at the same time in PWB 1.x.
