Tips from Marco
The DataFlex Studio has the possibility to use regular expressions in the Find dialog.
This opens the possibility to search for very specific things.
Find <xx> Table
Useful is
find .. Customer
where the . is any character, so eq gt ge etc.
If you also have and would like to find any number of spaces then you can extend it by \s for a space character followed by one or more with a +
find\s+..\s+customer
Looking for a function that has a number as the parameter
function .* number .* returns
Basically, the . is any character and the * is any occurrence of the previous character. So it is matching:
"function" space any characters "number" space any characters space "returns"
