Find Project Items Dialog Box

Select Edit»Find Project Items from the Project Explorer window to display this dialog box. You also can access this dialog box from a stand-alone project library window or class window. Right-click a folder, project library, LabVIEW class, or XControl and select Find Project Items from the shortcut menu to search for text within a specific project item. Use this dialog box to search for items that are members of the LabVIEW project, project library, LabVIEW class, or XControl.

Note You can access a modified version of this dialog box by right-clicking a project root and selecting Find Items Incorrectly Claimed by a Library from the shortcut menu. This feature automatically searches for and displays results for items that do not reciprocate a claim from a library. When you access this dialog box through the Find Items Incorrectly Claimed by a Library feature, only the Search results component appears in the dialog box.

This dialog box includes the following components:

Option Description
Type in text to search for

Enter the word or phrase you want to find. LabVIEW searches in the item names, locations in project, project library, LabVIEW class, and paths.
Case sensitive

Place a checkmark in this checkbox to find text strings that match the case exactly. For example, a search for foo does not match an occurrence of FOO or Foo.
Match whole word

Place a checkmark in this checkbox if you want to search for whole words. If you do not place a checkmark in this checkbox, LabVIEW finds all instances of the text in Type in text to search for, even when it is a fragment of a word. For searching purposes, a word is any sequence of characters delimited by non-alphanumeric characters, such as spaces, or the start or end of a line. For example, if you place a checkmark in this checkbox, a search for foo does not match an occurrence of foot or food.
Regular expression

Place a checkmark in this checkbox if the text in Type in text to search for is a regular expression. The regular expression has similar specifications to the Match Pattern function.
Search results

Lists all search results found in the project.
Export

Exports the search results to a tab-delimited text file.
