Search in Libero SoC

Search options vary depending on your search type.

To find a file:

1.Use CTRL + F to open the Search window.
2.Enter the name or part of name of the object you wish to find in the Find field. '*' indicates a wildcard, and [*-*] indicates a range, such as if you search for a1, a2, ... a5 with the string a[1-5].
3.Set the Options for your search (see below for list); options vary depending on your search type.
4.Click Find All (or Next if searching Text).
Searching an open text file, Log window, or Reports highlights search results in the file itself. All other results appear in the Search Results window (as shown in the figure below).

Match case: Select to search for case-sensitive occurrences of a word or phrase. This limits the search so it only locates text that matches the upper- and lowercase characters you enter.
