Hi
I am missing an important feature in Code Compser 5: Search in Folder.
That is something I need all the time, search for a string in all files in a specific folder on the drive. Without the need, that the file is somehow known to CCS (in project. etc).
How can this be done?
Regards, Daniel
Daniel,
You may want to try the following steps to see whether it meets your needs. Steps (1) and (2) basically make the 'Search' menu to show up in your perspective, and Step (3) tells how you can start the search.
1) In main menu, select Windows->Customize Perspective menu item. (See step1.png).
2) In the opened Customized Perspective Dialog, select 'Menu Visibility' tab. Then check the check box 'Search'. Then Click OK button to apply the change. (See step2.png)
3) Now, the main menu should have 'Search' main menu, which has a few different menu items. You can select one of them to start your search, depending on your need. Typical good ones are (a) Search->Search..., (b) Search->File Search... (c) Search->C/C++
Any one of these search menu items brings up a dialog, where you can enter your searches. (See step3.png)
Since the 'visiblity of search menu item' is set per perspective, you may want to repeat (1) to (2) for both CCS Edit Perspective and CCS Debug Perspective.
