Help with ctl+H searches

Guru 15580 points

I would like to search *all* files and folders in my project (including "include" files) for certain source files. However, using control+H does not find files in my linked include files. Is there a way to include the linked includes in my search?

  • Hi Mike,

    If should find any linked header files. What it won't find are header files specified in include search paths. Basically if it shows up in your C/C++ Projects view, and is not in the "Includes" folder, it should find it.

    There is another thread that is related to this topic:

  • Ki,

    Yes, I saw TommyG's thread.

    So, it sounds like the answer to your question is, NO. There is no way to search for a file that resides in the "includes" directories in my project file? This seems like a major oversight or shortcoming of CCS4/Eclipse.

    For example, my project (AudioFilterDemo) includes 3 .asm files. They all include lpva200.inc. I searched and searched but could not find lpva200.inc to see what's inside of it. I finally used a Windows search to find that it is located in the orginal download/unzip location of the demo files (C:\TI\C5515_eZdsp_Audio_Filter_Demo\C5515_eZdsp_Audio_Filter_Demo\inc). HOWEVER, this file (lpva200.inc) DOES NOT SHOW UP IN CCS4, even if I expand the included file list in the "includes" file. Here is a snapshot of the CCS4 project includes, and a windows explorer listing of these files. Note lpva200.inc in the bottom image, but not in the top image.

    quirky.

     

  • Looks like it only shows *.h file extensions in the view. I'll see if there is a way to get other files extensions visible
