| <h1>Searching for files</h1> |
| |
| <p>The <b>Go To > Resource</b> action in the <b>Navigate</b> menu |
| allows you to quickly find a resource in the Workbench by searching resource <i>names</i>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>You can also do more complex searches for files in the Workbench. For example, |
| to find all files that end with .xml: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>On the main toolbar, click the <b> Search</b> button <img src="../images/Image50_search.gif" alt="Search icon" border="0" width="26" height="22">.</li> |
| <li>Type <code>.xml</code> into the <b>File name patterns</b> field and leave |
| the <b>Containing text</b> field empty. <br> |
| (You can use the pull-down list to select <code>.xml</code> if it had been previously entered.)</li> |
| <li>Finish entering your search options, for example to scope the search to |
| specified working sets, and click <b>Search</b>.</li> |
| <li>The Search view displays the results of your search. Right-click on any |
| item in the Search view to open a pop-up menu that allows you to remove items |
| from the list, copy search results to the clipboard, or rerun the search. |
| To open one of the listed files, double-click it or select <b>Go to File</b> |
| from its pop-up menu.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| If you close the Search view, you can return to it later by selecting <b>Window |
| > Show View > Other > Basic > Search</b>.</p> |
