Finding
Text
{bmc bm4.MRB} To find a character, word, or group of
characters in the active source window
1. Position the insertion point where you want to
start the search.
2. From the Edit menu, choose Find. The Find
dialog box appears.
3. In the Find What box, type the text you want
to find, or choose from the 16 previous instances of text searched for, which
are listed in the drop-down box.
4. Choose any of the Find options, as described
below.
5. Choose OK.
When you
choose the Find command, the editor uses the location of the insertion point to
select a default search string. If the insertion point is inside a word, that
word is displayed as the search text in the Find What box.
If the
insertion point is between words, the word to the right is displayed. If there
is no word to the right, the word to the left is displayed. If that is not
possible, nothing is displayed.
The Find
dialog box has these choices for locating text:
