Searching for Instances of String Identifiers
InstallShield 2020
Project:This information applies to the following project types:
String identifiers are used throughout InstallShield projects. If you want to see where a particular string identifier is used in your project, you can perform a search in the String Editor view.
To find all the occurrences of a particular string identifier within your project:
|
1.
|
In the View List under User Interface, click String Editor. |
|
2.
|
Select the row that contains the string identifier for which you want to search. |
To select multiple consecutive rows, click the first row, and then press SHIFT while clicking the last row. To select multiple nonconsecutive rows, click the first row, and then press CTRL while clicking each additional row.
|
3.
|
Click the Search for Selected Strings in Project button. |
InstallShield displays the search results on the Results tab in the Output window. The Results tab indicates how many times the string identifier is used. In addition, it indicates the location in the Direct Editor view where the string identifier is used.
If the string identifier is not used in the project, the Results tab shows that zero occurrences were found.
Note:InstallShield does not search the project’s InstallScript files (.rul) for instances of the string identifier.
