Searching for Codebase Files Based on Name

You can perform a file search to find files based on the file name to concentrate the Analysis Workbench display on files of interest for conducting your analysis of the scan results. The following limitations apply:

•

There is no support for wildcard specifications. The comparison is a case-insensitive filename containing the complete search string.

•

Only the first 1,000 matching files are returned by the file search.

This specific search highlights the search results in the Codebase Files pane, unlike the other file searches (described in the sections that follow) that display the search results in the File Search Results pane.

To perform a file search based on name, do the following:

1.

Open the Analysis Workbench for the desired project. (For instructions, see Opening the Analysis Workbench.)

2.

In the search text box in the Codebase Files pane, enter the partial or full name of the file or folder that you want to search and press Enter. You must type at least three characters to initiate the filename search. The text box is highlighted with a red border if you enter fewer than three characters, and an error message is shown in a tooltip.

When a match is found, the tree in the Codebase Files pane is expanded as much as necessary to highlight the matching file. The file details are not open until you click on the file in the tree.

3.

Select the Next Match (>) and Previous Match (<) buttons next to the search string box to navigate the results of the search.

•

Files—If the Previous or Next match button reaches a file, that file will be highlighted in the codebase tree, and the search term will be highlighted in yellow.

•

Folders— If the Previous or Next match button reaches a folder, that folder will be highlighted in the codebase tree and the search term will be highlighted in yellow. The folder will also be automatically expanded one level so that you can see its child items.

The counter between the buttons indicates the total number of matches and the current match number.

4.

(Optional) Click the name of a file to display its contents in the File Details tab.

5.

(Optional) Click the X to clear the search string.
