Find Window

[IMAGE]

The find window searches for strings. When you issue the window find command, the Find window, illustrated in Find Window, is opened. If you have not changed your PF key assignments, you can also use PF17, which is assigned to the window find < > command, to open the Find window. Once the Find window is open, you can type the string to be searched for and the occurrence that you want: f (first), n (next), or p (previous). The search is started when you press the ENTER key or any PF key

If n or p is specified in the Occurrence: field, the search begins from the current position of the logical cursor. If this is the first time that the window find command is being executed in this window, or if the command was last executed in a different window, occurrence defaults to P for the Log window and n for the Source and Browse windows.

The search string may contain embedded blanks. By default, searches are not case sensitive.

In the current implementation, subsequent occurrences may be found by twice pressing the PF key that is assigned to the window find < > command (PF17 by default). Pressing the key the first time opens the Find window with the search string that was used the last time, and an appropriate occurrence parameter. Pressing the key the second time causes the debugger to accept the contents of the window and begin searching.

To abort a search after the Find window has been opened, erase the text of the string.
