Results

The Results show up in the list box that occupies the lower part of the Main Window .

Controlling Results You can control what shows up by making choices in Options - Results|Display and Options - Results|Viewers. In addition, some of the most frequently changed of these options are available on the Common Options panel on the main screen.

Coloring Results The Results may contain found words or expressions, replacement words or expressions, lines containing matches, file names, summary information, and so on. It is useful to set various colors for the different Results you have to look at. For help on doing so, see Options - Results|Colors.

Selecting Results Once you have performed a Find or Replace operation, there are several actions you can take with the displayed results. Most of these actions require that you select one or more lines in Results. For instance, to open a file listed in Results, the line containing the file’s name must be selected, or a line beneath the file’s name, showing found content of the file.

To select one line in the Results list box, left-click the mouse on the line.
To select a block, a group of contiguous lines, first select one line; then hold down the Shift key and select another line to mark the beginning or end of the block. If your second line is above your first, it marks the beginning; if it is below, it marks the end of the block.
To select multiple lines not necessarily contiguous, hold down the Ctrl key and left-click any number of lines.
