NAME

6       texfind - graphical tool to search for text in TeX input files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       texfind  [ OPTION ...  ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       texfind  is  a  graphical,  interactive  tool  that helps you searching
13       through TeX input files, including subdirectories, and allows you to do
14       search/replace  tasks using Perl regular expressions. It opens two win‐
15       dows: One displays the directory hierarchy and allows to select differ‐
16       ent  search  directories.  The second window is used to enter the query
17       and display the results.
18

SEARCHING

20       Enter a search string  in the input box at the  top,  choose  the  file
21       extension  (*tex  by  default)  and  hit ENTER to start the search. The
22       results will be displayed below.
23
24       The search string is actually a perl regular expression. This gives you
25       lots  of  flexibility.  The  search-and-replace function also uses Perl
26       regex syntax, but you can also just use simple strings. Currently there
27       is no way to save changed files.
28

MENU

30       Use the right mouse button to open a menu.
31
32       File : Currently only used to exit the program
33
34       Edit : Copy selections, select or unselect all
35
36       Search  :  Open a Find dialog that allows further searching through the
37              displayed results. The Replace option can  be  used  to  replace
38              single  or  all occurrences of a string, but currently it is not
39              possible to change the file.
40
41       View : Select specific lines, and adjust word or character wrapping.
42

OPTIONS

44       --font : specify the font used for the menu. Default is courier.
45
46       Other options probably exist  -  I  appreciate  input  by  the  program
47              authors, experienced users or perl geeks.

BUGS

55       None known. Well - the replace function isn't the most useful one.
