CCS: If CCS can improve it's "Find in project" function

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi 

Here I just want to give my suggestion which I think it is very very very important to CCS which is compared with other IDEs.

That is the "Find in project" function!  This is very important for debug!

I know we can use use the right click the variable->Search text->Project, But it just can search the variable. I can't search a word I want to search freely like the search in IAR

Best regards

Gary

  • Gary,

    Our find/search capabilities come straight from Eclipse so it is generally not something we have much control over.  However the functionality provided is quite extensive, but can take a while to get used to.

    Search within a File

    control F (command F on Mac) is the most simple option.  This will search within the currently active file.  If you have a word highlighted it will automatically use that as the search term.

    Searching within projects

    For searching for a string I would use the File Search tab on the search dialog

    This dialog is not limited to searching just variable names.  By default it searches the content of your workspace (which is all projects) but you can change that to be  just the selected resources or the current project.  This is effectively the same as what is in your screen capture.

    C/C++ Search

    The C/C++ search tab is language aware and lets you search for matches with function names, variables...

    If I use the C/C++ search and search for example I get no hits:

    If I use the same term but use the File search then I get all text matches:

    Thus I believe the file search tab in the search dialog is what you are looking for.

  • Gary,

    Was the "File Search" option what you were looking for?
