I would like to suggest an “Find All”-button in the “Find dialog box”.

That should LIST all matched occurrences of
what the find-command has found
in the Output window at the bottom.

Like
Find: ^Function.+

Output window:
 | Line | Found
 | 24   | Function one()
 | 47   | Function two()
 | 83   | Function three()

The found locations are clickable and jump to the corresponding lines in the text.

Something that “Find in Files” already partly can.

Thanks

I think the Extract option in the Find dialog is what you’re looking for. You can also open Extract Options to fine-tune your settings.

Thanks for the answer.
I know the Extract option and that is not what I suggest.
(even not with option “use outputbar”, but nifty some other time)

I suggest a clickable list of found lines displayed in the OutputBar.
At the button and so viable together with the actual document.

So we can see the document AND all the found positions
and quickly jump to them without losing the overview.

Thanks.

The Output Bar doesn’t support clickable lists. To view clickable lines, clear the Output Bar in the Extract Options dialog box. The clickable lines will then appear as a new document in the editor.

The Output Bar doesn’t support clickable lists.

So “Output Bar” was the wrong term used by me?

Then use a pane as for ex. the “List of Bookmarks” uses
for to show a list of found lines.
There are clickable links a standard behavior.
.
I do not suggest a new document, I suggest to have the
current document and the results list visible at once. Above each other.

Thanks

I’ll consider making the list in the Output Bar clickable in future versions.

I’ve adapted the list bookmarks macro for this task:
List all finds by repeating the most recent search.
Usage:
1) Find any match using EmEditor’s find dialogue.
2) Run the macro.
The macro will then list all occurrences in the output bar.

Example output

The macro is configurable:
● Find in all open documents.
● List the entire line Y/N.
● List the find Y/N.
● …

WOW, wonderful Patrick, thank you.

I wish I would be that skilled ;-)

 
 
Thank you!
