Anthony, I don't have any links, and a quick google doesn't really give me much, besides sean corfield's page where he's taking request for changes in a future CFEclipse version.
To search in a single text file, just hit ctrl+f. It's mostly a simple find with extra options. To search multiple files, I usually select a folder on the navigator view and hit the search button (or ctrl+h) This type of search is more like the extended find/replace of HS/CFS, where it will give you a list of results when it finishes. Actually, in Eclipse, it gives you that list as it's going. The search view should pop up. I usually switch it to Flat layout, using the down arrow. In the search box, type in your criteria and choose the selected resources radio to search within the folder you have selected, or you can search your entire workspace of projects, or just the enclosing projects (not sure, i think it's the projects whose files you have open?), or you can define a working set of folders. Working sets are great because you can filter your navigator view to show the same working set you want to search in, it works in both places. Replacing is the same, but it does a search before it asks you what to replace your searched text with. A little weird but it works. There's no option to search just the open files, that I know of... would be interesting, and I've used it a few times in CFS, but haven't missed it since switching. I understand the file formatting search and replace. It is nice, and, to this day, I may crack open HS once in a while to format a document. -nathan strutz PS, it looks like I'll be doing a cfeclipse preso at the azcfug in january :) On 12/6/05, Anthony Prato <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Do you have any links or postings that give some tips on searching?
