| 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. |
