Am I just missing something or is there still no way to specify "case"
and "regexp" options in the Find dialog?
There are no options yet and I don't expect them to arrive before 1.65.
Rats - sometimes I do not like being right.
Put another way, now that Find is using the same [I assume] code as
Replace, it *could* have the same options as the Replace dialog...
It could but I see this as something to evolve over time and would
like to get engine stuff (blocking or threading or extra process,
buffering) worked out first.
There will probably be some problems with the code. I just realised
that the GTK+ version doesn't quote (slashify) the search string which
is passed as a command line to the extra process so will fail when the
search contains " amongst other problems. The code used to find the
SciTE executable on GTK+ appears fragile and possibly forking or
threading would be better.
So - just making an inquiry, not volunteering - why are you not doing
threading on both Windows and GTK+ (and sharing most of the find
implementation)? From the outside, GLib threads look usable enough...
and they do sort of come bundled under the GTK umbrella, right?
Also, since the intention seems to be that both "internal" and
"external" versions of "Find in Files" are to be supported for at
least some amount of time, then this means two versions of the dialog
- one "with" the cool options and one "without" - or just one with
some disabled options if the user is still using the external find?
We never produced a version of the external find in files able to
handle options. I expect the options (once they appear) will be
disabled (greyed) except for internal find in files. Unless someone
wants to do the work of handling all the possibilities for external
find as discussed before.
A like the "We never produced" part - yes, I remember you soliciting
volunteers for "Find in Files" dialog work. :)
And how about changing the SciTE find.command property DEFAULT setting
so that the internal find-in-files is selected?
Not until its been through a release cycle's worth of experience.
As there are no options yet, there are things people will be
accustomed to having available from findstr / grep that will not yet
be possible.
I thought you would say that. :)
