search

To find a word or an expression in a text, you can use the search tool . If it is not displayed, you can make it appear by clicking on its icon in the tool bar. This tool will allow you to search a word or a regular expression and to replace it if you want to. It can be case sensitive and look for isolated words. Note: The search tool will look for the wanted word in the editor or in the context tool, depending on which one has the focus.

There are two simple ways to find a class if you know its name or a part of it :

• You may use the groups tool . This tool presents the entire universe of your project. By developing the cluster tree , you will be able to find what you are looking for. This method is quick if you already have an idea of where the class is in the universe.
• Using address bars will be quicker if you do not have this information or if the size of your project is important.

If you know the name of a cluster but not where it is located in the system, there are two ways to find this out:

• You can try to find it in the groups tool by expanding the cluster tree.
• In a window where the context tool is independent from the editor, you can type the name of the cluster in context tool address bar . You may use wildcards ("*" or "?") if you know only a part of the name.

There are many ways to find a feature in a class. In particular :

• You can use the Features tool and search the tree by expanding feature clauses. This tool, however, displays only the features that are defined or redefined in the current class text. If you do not know if the feature is inherited or not, you may therefore not find what you are looking for with this method.
• You can also use the class tab in the context tool.
