The following instruction helps you to better understand
how to quickly find the key or value you want.
There are two ways to search for NLS element you want: Search inside workspace and Search inside file. Note that when you chose to
search inside workspace, Keyword Bar would be disabled so that you
can't search inside file.
In both ways, you can use Advanced options for smarter search:
- Select a language locale in the Language Bar. This means the search
will be done only on files with that locale.
- Choose case sensitive or not.
- Choose diacritical marks sensitive or not. "Diacritical sensitive"
means the search will be done only on those have the exact diacritical
marks.
- Search inside workspace
- Its basic functionality is to allow users search for a text among
all the properties files in the workspace. The following procedure
provides detailed steps:
- Introduce a value in the input text box of the Search Bar. Then the search button
is activated.
- Click the search button or press the key “ENTER” to invoke the
search. The window searches the input text on both key and value elements
of all the properties files in the workspace. During the execution,
a progress bar will appear, showing the number or files with properties
that match the search criteria, and the file name that is being scanned
at that moment.
If the search criteria has one or more match, the File List
panel on the left would list all the files that have the matched element,
each file with a number in the right bracket that corresponds to the
number of occurrences in that file. And the Element List on the right
would list all the properties that match the criteria. At the bottom
of the window, there is a message indicating that user should select
a property value from the list to proceed.
If
the search criteria has no match, a message informing the situation
is raised and no element is shown. Then you can return to the initial
state by pressing Reload or Cancel button on the Search Bar. You can refer to more information
about them in the last two section of this page.
- Search inside file
- Its basic functionality is to allow users search for a text in
one selected file. The following procedure provides detailed steps:
- Firstly select a file from File List panel. Then Element
List would display all the NLS elements in the selected file. If the
file has a short list, you can directly select the NLS element from
the list. If the list is long, you can go on to invoke Search inside file.
- Input a value in the input text box of the Keyword Bar. Element List would
display the match result instantly as you type. If there is no match,
Element List would be blank.
- Clear the input text box or select another file would start another Search inside file.
- Reload
- Reload means the window returns to the initial state that no property
file or property value is selected. You can click the reload button
at the Search Bar.
If there
is a file selected on the left side, user “Ctrl+Click” on that file,
the behavior is the same as clicking the reload button. If user takes
any of these two actions, the result will be:
- Cancel
- Cancel means the window returns to the initial state that no search
was done. You can click the cancel button at the Search Bar.
The result
will be:
