Default Finding code. Needle in a hay stack - 10-15-2004 , 08:03 AM






I am using VFP 5.0.

There is a line of code that I am looking for. This application is
very big. The applications has many forms, classes, prg's and reports.

Is there a way that I can do a universal find that covers the whole
Foxpro project? When I say everthing I mean a search that can even
look into code in a command button.

Rich,
There are a couple programs around that will do a search. In 6,0, I've used - Search, Search String and GoFish - I got all these from the UT - http://www.universalthread.com/. Of course in VFP 8.0+ MS provides the Code Reference tool which is superior to these.

You code load up the free 9.0 public beta and use it to check your 5.0 project!

Rich -
1. use the documenting wizard [i think it was in v5] and look at the entire
output file that is generated.
2. use PDM [see www.universalthread] and gen an output set, then search in
the html output in a browser.
either way - you have to know SOMETHING about the line of code you are
looking for -
some basic search string - ...

hth - mondo regards [Bill]
