The Find tab can be accessed either from the View|Find in Files command from the main menu, or by clicking its tab selector in the left pane. The Find tab can be used to search for and replace text strings. The options in the Find tab are as follows:

Find What

Here you can enter the search string you are looking for. If you click on the arrow nest to the Find What dropdown, you will open a list of wildcards you can use in your search: These wildcards are as follows:

• . : Use the . (dot) to denote any single character in the string.

• *: Use the * (star) to denote zero or more characters in the string.

• +: Use the + (plus) to denote one or more characters in the string.

• ^: Use the ^ (caret) to search for the search string at the beginning of line only.

• $: Use the $ (dollar) to search for the search string at the end of line only.

• \: Use the \ (slash) to denote a special character.

• []:Use the [] (square braces) to enclose any one character you’d like TurboEditor to search for.

• |: Use the | (pipe) to denote that only one of a set of characters should be searched for.

Look In

Click the … button next to the Look In option to select the folders, which are to be searched. You can also
select if sub-folders should be included in the search or not.

Find Options

Here you can enter additional search options, such as:

• Match Case: Put a check in this checkbox if you want to find only the strings, which are in the same case (i.e.
  uppercase or lowercase) as the search string.

• Match Whole Words: Put a check in this checkbox if you want to search for whole words only.

• Regular Expressions: Put a check in this checkbox if you want to use regular expressions.

• Find in Hidden Files: Put a check in this checkbox if you want to search in hidden files as well.

Look at These File Types

Here you can enter one or more file types the search should be limited to. By default all files (in the selected directory/sub-directory) are searched for.

When you have entered your search criteria, click the Find All button to find all the occurrences of the search string. If you want to perform a mass replacement, click the Apply button.
