7.7.4 Additional IDE Find Mechanisms

The other IDE tools that enable you to search for all the places where specific text is used in a project include:

  • Finding and Replacing Text. Searches for all the places where specific text is used in a source file that is open in the Editor. Choose Edit > Find to open the Find dialog box, or choose Edit > Replace to open the Replace dialog box. These commands finds all matching strings, regardless of whether the string is a C code element.
  • Find in Projects. As with the Find command, the Find in Projects command searches for matching strings, regardless of whether the string is a function name. Choose EditFind in Projects to open the Find in Projects dialog box and then type the string of text that you are looking for.

To find where a function is declared in a source file, you can double click the function in the Navigator window. If the function is declared in a different source file, right click the function and choose Navigate > Go To Declaration from the contextual menu.
