Look For

Specifies the text string to search for.

To search for special characters, type the following C language representations in the text boxes in the Find dialog box.

Options

These options define the limits and direction of the search. If you specify text to search for and do not get the expected results, make sure you have the correct options selected.

• Match Case   Locates text that exactly matches the combination of uppercase and lowercase letters you type in the Look For box.
  
  
• Wrap Around   Searches the current file from the insertion point to the end of the file, and then from the beginning of the file to the original insertion point.
  
  
• Match Whole Word   Locates distinct occurrences of words, not groups of characters inside words.
  
  
• Search Backward   Searches backwards from the current insertion point position to the beginning of the file.

Scope

• Current Procedure   Searches only the current procedure which is displayed in the Code window.
  
  
• Current Object   Searches all procedures (event code) in the current (selected) object.

Replace

Expands the dialog box by adding a Replace All button and the Replace With text entry box, in which you can specify replacement text.
