texfind (1)
NAME
texfind - graphical tool to search for text in TeX input filesSYNOPSIS
texfind [ OPTION ... ]
DESCRIPTION
texfind is a graphical, interactive tool that helps you
searching through TeX input files, including subdirectories, and
allows you to do search/replace tasks using perl(1) regular
expressions. It opens two windows: One displays the directory
hierarchy and allows to select different search directories. The
second window is used to enter the query and display the results.
SEARCHING
Enter a search string in the input box at the top, choose the file extension (tex by default) and hit ENTER to start the search. The results will be displayed in the rest of the window.
The search string is a perl regular expression (see perlre(1)), which gives you lots of flexibility. The search-and-replace function also uses perl regex syntax, but you can also just use simple strings. Currently there is no way to save changed files.
MENU
Use the right mouse button to open a menu.
-
File : Currently only used to exit the program
- Edit : Copy selections, select or unselect all
- Search : Open a Find dialog that allows further searching
- Edit : Copy selections, select or unselect all
- through the displayed results. The Replace option can be used to replace single or all occurrences of a string, but currently it is not possible to change the file.
View : Select specific lines, and adjust word or character
wrapping.
OPTIONS
- --font : specify the font used for the menu. Default is
- courier.
- Other options probably exist. I appreciate input by the program authors, experienced users, or Perl geeks.
