1. Choose Edit > Find in Workspace.

The Find and Replace in Workspace dialog box opens.

2. Enter the text to search for in the Find what field. You can enter a text string or use a regular expression for a more flexible search.

3. Select an option from the Look in list. You can search all scripts in the workspace or all open scripts in the Scripts pane.

You can also search the current script, which only finds text in the script displayed in the Scripts pane.

4. Select any Find Options.

• Match case searches for text that matches the case of characters in the search text.
• Match whole word searches for text that matches the search text exactly. For example, 'click' does not find 'clicks' or 'double-click'.
• Use regular expressions searches for a text pattern that matches the regular expression in the Find what field.

5. Click Find All.

The number of results found in the workspace is displayed in Find Results pane. Each result shows the script name, line number, and text with the text you searched for underlined.
