| <h1 class="Head">Finding a resource quickly</h1> |
| <p>To navigate to a particular resource in a view such as the Project Explorer view:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>From <b>Navigate</b> menu, select <b>Go To > Resource</b>.</li> |
| <li>In the window that opens, start typing the name of the resource in the <b>Pattern</b> field. As you type the |
| file name, the system offers a list of possible matches, based on what you have entered so far.</li> |
| <li>Select the resource that you want from the <b>Matching Items</b> list, and click <b>OK</b>.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>The view displays the selected resource.</p> |
| <p>If you want to open a particular resource in an editor rather than select it in a view, you can use the <a class= |
| "command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.navigate.openResource")'><img src= |
| "PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link"> <b>Navigate > Open Resource</b></a> action. |
| This action presents the same dialog as the <b>Go To > Resource</b> action, but immediately opens the matching |
| resource for editing.</p> |
| <p>You can also do a contextual search for character strings contained within files in the Workbench. See the links |
| to related tasks below.</p> |
