Finding Text in the Array Display Window

The Find command invokes the Find dialog box.

Enter the text you want to find in the Find what text box. If you select text on a single line before you execute the Find command, the selected text appears in the Find what text box. Otherwise, the text you last searched for appears in the box. You can access a history of selections for the Find what text box by clicking the mouse on the arrow to the right of the Find what text box or by using the up or down arrow keys on your keyboard.

  • Case sensitive—Finds only the instances of the specified text that match exactly. For example, if CHR is the specified text, the Case sensitive option finds CHR but not Chr.
  • Whole word—Finds the specified text only when the characters that surround it are spaces, punctuation marks, or other characters not considered parts of a word. LabWindows/CVI treats the characters A through Z, a through z, 0 through 9, and underscore (_) as parts of a word.
  • Wrap—Specifies to continue searching from the beginning of the window once the end of the window has been reached.
  • Button bar—Use this option to enable or disable the built-in dialog box for interactive searching.

    Find Prev and Find Next search for the closest previous or next occurrence of the specified text. Stop terminates the search, leaving the highlight on the current line. Return terminates the search, moving the highlight to where you initiated the search.

    The search hot keys remain active even if you disable the Button Bar. View a list of the search hot-keys by opening the Change Shortcut Keys dialog box.
