ABCFind
-
Version
1.1
Visual Basic has always lacked a powerful find and
replace tool. Until now!
ABCFind provides a wealth of powerful features that
significantly increase the productivity of a Visual
Basic developer. It seamlessly Integrates into the
Visual Basic IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
completely replacing the standard Find and Replace
dialogs that are provided as part of the standard VB
IDE. It provides many more regular expressions than
the standard VB implementation of Find and Replace;
you can specify more specific search requirements
such as only matching text that occurs in declaration
lines or text that only occurs within string literals
to name just a few. ABCFind can use an Or operator
to specify more than one expression to find in the
same pass. This reduces the time and effort required
to perform multiple iterations of searches. The scope
of a search can be restricted to one of any of those
included in the standard VB implementation, such as
the current module or the current project, or it can
be expanded to be all projects in the project group,
all code modules that are currently open or all
editable/checked-out modules in the project group.
ABCFind can also ignore all matches that occur within
comments, so no more time is wasted looking at
commented-out code. Instead of searching the latest
version of the code in the VB IDE, ABCFind can search
historical versions of this code in the corresponding
SourceSafe database. The power of ABCFind is further
enhanced by its ability to run as a standalone
application rather than integrated into the VB IDE.
In this way, you can search for matches in VB
Projects on any hard-disk in your network. You can
even search for matches in VB projects contained in a
SourceSafe repository, including the version
history. The searching algorithms employed by
ABCFind have been highly optimised for the fastest
possible performance.
