Hi Devon, The project manager has a lot of features. Besides the Find Tool, I particularly like the following: 1. Global Assignments in File - this is really helpful. I've never really like using global variables but sometimes you just need to make one. So I am really watch out for global assignments. 2. Export Scripts - Exports your scripts to HTML ... great for documentation. :) 3. Format Scripts - I always-always-always use this. I always make it a point to run this after I edited a file. 4. SVN Support - I normally use TortoiseSVN and AnhkSVN but whenever I'm in J ... I just use the Project Manager.
For me, the Project Manager is a great way of compartmentalizing my project. My whole system, consists of 7 projects, is around 256KB (that's a lot if you're doing it in J) and the PM really helps a lot. r/Alex -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Devon McCormick Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 11:09 AM To: Programming forum Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] Ineffective Windows search tool Well, I did not know about that tool. Also, I don't always have a session manager window open but it looks worth a try. Looking at it just now, it works OK for my test case but I would have to search several sections of the J directory tree separately if I were unsure where the script might be found. There should be an option to search from the base of the J tree.
