Find In Files

[VBClassic04]

Like many programmers, I have a large collection of source code. I wrote this to ease
searching for text in vb files.

The file display uses Scintilla, so if you don't have SciLexer.dll here is the Url to get it.
https://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDownload.html

Put the scilexer.dll where LoadLibrary can find it, depending on your OS.

To get started, click the button opposite 'Path to Search' to set the search path
then enter desired wild cards, I use *.frm;*.bas;*.cls;*.ctl
then enter a search term and press return

The ini class will remember all the combo box items for next use
Happy coding!

maybe you can test anytxt searcher, free google desktop search alternative.

Excellent

Good work!

A couple of tips:
1. Insert a DoEvents into the Do While loop
2. Set the Scintilla font to standard font like Courier New

Thank.

Leo, I assume you are referring to EFIStrArrWC in mod mTools
I tend to avoid doevents, instead, I used lstFiles.Refresh

You can set your desired font name, size in cSci.InitSci

If the search is long, without the DoEvents the application after a while 'does not respond' and the status bar stops updating.

I know.

Mine are just suggestions.
