CCS5 search

Hi,

We are using CCS 5.1.0.08012.
When we use the search tool (CTRL + H) for some expressions (i.e. structures), tool otomatically removes the dot of the expressions by itself. 

For example: we search flags.bootflag with CTRL+H, but it removes the dot and search flagsbootflag. so it can not find our expression. And we try to put a dot to there (in picture) but it does not let us.

 

Thanks

  • Hi Yasin,

    I see the same thing.  For now, the only thing I can suggest is to use the ? for the . in as the ? is basically the character wild card.

    Please give this a try and keep us posted.

  • No Lisa, it is not working. I tried it before and after your advice.
    Neither ? nor * are not working. Although I use them, search tool can not find expressions. 
    I think, tool searchs the expressions with * and ? characters. It doesn't use them 
    instead of an unknown character.

    Because screenshots of messages like this:



    Thanks...

  • Hi Yasin,

    ok, I am going to dig into this and do my best to confirm whether it is even possible to do this type of search.  I will return with feedback as soon as I have any.

  • Hello again Yasin,

    I have been able to look into things a bit further and consult some development colleagues.  Unfortunately it seems that the search comes directly from eclipse and so it appears that as a C/C++ search what you are trying to do is not supported.

    Things I can suggest

    - try without the .

    - try the file search, this should work

    - if possible search for only one part ..... ie the word on either side of the .

    - try the eclipse forums

    I hope at least getting this answered helps, even if we do not have a work around for you.  As mentioned the file search is likely the best way to go.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa
