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

Author

texfind was written for the ConTeXt package by Hans Hagen and Ton Otten, PRAGMA.

       This  manual  page  was written by Frank Küster <frank@kuesterei.ch> for the Debian GNU/Linux system, and
       modified by Sanjoy Mahajan <sanjoy@mit.edu>.  It may be used and modified by  others  without  contacting
       the authors.

texfind                                           December 2006                                       TEXFIND(1)

Bugs

       None known. However, the replace function isn't the most useful one.

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 you to select different search directories.  The
       second window is used to enter the query and display the results.

Name

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

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.

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.
