searching all of image for a string

How do you search all of the image source for a certain string whether in a comment or not?

I am in vw7.9.1, have SearchLightTools, and can see how to select a package in the browser, and use the Regular Expressions tab to search within that package, but I cannot seem to find a way to search all the image.

Thx for any tips,
Ken G. Brown

Ken,

You can select all pundles in the left pane and then use Regular Expression tab to search,

Boris,

You can select all pundles in the left pane and then use Regular Expression tab to search,

As an aside, if you have the package/bundle pane in focus, Ctrl-A will do a select all... Easier than Shift-Clicking IMO.

And So It Goes

<base href="x-msg://207/">I was looking for a way to do that and could not find a select all in the menus anywhere, or cmd-A on Mac. After knowing there should be a way, I finally tried cntl-A and it worked.

Thx,

Ken

You also have "Source Code Search" http://blog.epigent.com/2011/10/source-code-search-for-visual-works.html

Re: searching all of image for a string

Got it.

Had been using your search in 7.8 but couldn't seem to find it the first time I looked when building a fresh 7.9.1 image. I had searched for various forms of 'Source Code Search' in the public repo and it did not come up. Search terms apparently need to be of the form 'starts with'.

Thx

Ken
