IDE search option

[eoredson]

Hi,

In the IDE you have Alt-S to search and F to find a string or value in your program..

My question is:

Could you have a checkbox for wildcard characters * and ? with the search specifications?

  [  ] Allow wildcard

Thanks, Erik.

findstr {/b} {/e} {/l | /r} {/s} {/i} {/x} {/v} {/n} {/m} {/o} {/p} {/f:<File>} {/c:<String>} {/g:<File>} {/d:<DirList>} {/a:<ColorAttribute>} {/off{line}} <Strings> {<Drive>:}{<Path>}<FileName>{ ...}

i had to look this up for windows. of course on linux there is grep.

i could not find page of qb64wiki to explain that windows terminal program.

do not think the qb64 ide could do everything for you. not everybody else wants filename wildcard for search, it is too harmful. going into regular expressions could cause frustration. especially asterisk is not for someone who wants precise match of something.

from above terminal command, you could note the line number and then do this:

qb64pe.exe -l:xxx filename.bas

xxx is the line number, and you should choose your program file.
