Full text searching of IDL code libraries? [message #69013] Wed, 09 December 2009 08:06

I have a simple question. I have a bunch of IDL routines. I want to
search them for where a particular word ("longitude" in this case)
shows up in the code. I tried using the IDL 7.0 workbench search
function but it didn't work. I tried using the operating system
search function and thought about using Google desktop search; these
appear to only work if I change every .pro file to be a .txt file.

My current thought is to take the time finally figure out how the IDL
7 workbench actually works so that I can understand when the search
looks through a "workspace" or "workset" I know what that means and
why it doesn't work. I'd prefer to continue working in my old school
ignorance since I have other things I need to get done today. I know,
I know. I can hear the "Give a man a fish, feed him once. Teach a man
to fish..." mantra starting up already.

Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Jared
