Using the Find dialog

To specify the Find details

Use these input fields and radio buttons in the Find dialog:

Find

Type the character string to be found in this input field.
Note: The Find facility is not case sensitive.

Forward

Select this radio button to specify 'Find forwards'.

Back

Select this radio button to specify 'Find backwards'. This is the default.

To find the character string

Left-click the Find button to find the first occurrence of the character string in the previous (or next) 5000 records, or until the top (or bottom) of the log is reached. To repeat the Find, left-click the Find button again.

Notes:

  1. If 'Find forwards' is in effect, the Find will start on the message displayed on the top line of the current display, unless it is a repeat Find after a successful Find when it will start on the second message displayed on the current display.
  2. If 'Find backwards' is in effect, the Find will start from the next oldest message.
  3. If the previous Find failed, a repeat Find will start from the end of the last Find.

To cancel the operation

Left-click the Cancel button. The Find dialog will close.
