Find In Files
The Find in files feature works similarly to most other editors. You can search, replace, and replace all in many files at once.
You can find an exact match, a case-insensitive match, or a regular expression. The full regular expression syntax is described at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr18/. To the left of the find input, there is a pop-up menu that shows you the regular expression meta-characters that are available. Clicking on one of them will add it to the find expression text input.
Find in files is recursive; it will search the given directory and all of its sub-directories.
By default only PHP files are searched. You can change this at any time by entering
new extensions. Multiple extensions can be separated with a semicolon; for example
*.php;*.phtml will search inside of files that have a php or phtml extension.
Note that extension wild cards are checked in a case-insensitive manner.
By default, find in files will not search hidden files. This can be overwritten by clicking on the "Search hidden files" check box.
When you perform a find in files search, triumph4php will search the contents of the opened buffers and not the file system if a file is opened. That way, there are no stale matches.
Find in files will always perform searches one line at at time, meaning that it won't match on multi-line regular expressions.
A running search can be stopped by clicking on the stop (x) button; also by closing the find in files results panel the search will be stopped.
If find in files finds matches in more than 100 files the search will terminate.
