<p>TextSearch looks for a string in text files. Typically it is invoked from <a href="../tracker-add-ons.html">Tracker's Add-on</a> context menu on the selection of files or folders you want to search.</p>
|
||
|
||
<img src="../images/apps-images/textsearch.png" alt="textsearch.png" />
|
||
|
||
<p>You enter a search string in the text box on top and hit <span class="key">RETURN</span> or click <span class="button">Search</span> to start. If <span class="menu">Show lines</span> is checked, the hits are automatically expanded to show the lines of the file containing the search string.</p>

<p>Only a few words on some of the otherwise self-explaining menu items:</p>

</td></tr>

Source versioning systems like SVN and CVS are examples of applications using this and are also widely used in Haiku.</td></tr>

For it, special characters like <tt>'"*\$?!</tt> and spaces have to be escaped with a <tt>\</tt>. Deactivating this setting means you have to do this yourself, but in exchange grants you the power of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression" class="external free" title="Wikipedia: Regular expressions" rel="nofollow">regular expressions</a>.</td></tr>
