Find Files Funkiness *Solved!*

[John Waalkes]

I'm back. Sorry...

While searching for hRoot = in Find in Files, I found that it found the two instances of my search correctly in that it had the proper document where it found hRoot = and the correct line number and column number.

However, when double-clicking on the instance that was found in my .inc file, it takes me to the top line of the file and not to the line where it actually resides (in this case, line 59:4)

So I was curious, why was this happening now? I had merged my code from PB Forms with the treeview example when I migrated over to FF.

But this meant that the working name for my project was "Treeview". Not very appropriate for a Modbus data collection program. IMHO

So I changed the names from "Treeview" to "Modbus Data Collector" in both the .ffp and the .inc files.

That's when all of the search problems started. Going back to the version named "Treeview" I had no problems with the search function at all.

It turns out that having spaces in the .inc file will throw the search function off. When I noticed that about the only difference between the two versions of the projects was that I now had spaces in my filename, I put "_" in place of the spaces and now the search function seems to work fine ("Modbus_Data_Collector.inc" instead of "Modbus Data Collector.inc").

(of course FF3 didn't find the old filename, so I had to add it to the project using "Add Module").


Thanks,

John
