You can search for text and markup in your document. Follow these steps to search in your document:
Searching for text and markup
Choose -> from the main menu or press Ctrl-F. The following dialog will appear:
Enter the search string in the Search for field. If you want to limit the search to the content of a specific element type, select the element name from the Search within drop-down list.
By default, epcEdit will search for the string everywhere in your document, starting at the current position of the insertion cursor. When the search reaches the end of the document, epcEdit will continue from the beginning of the document until the original location of the insertion cursor is reached again. You can modify this behaviour by selection Forward or Backward to search from the current location to the end of the document or backward to the beginning of the document.
Searching is normally case insensitive. If you want epcEdit to respect upper and lower case characters while searching, you can enable the Exact option. In addition, the search string can be treated as a regular expression. Please refer to Regular expressions for more details on regular expressions.
By default, epcEdit will ignore markup when searching for text. You may include markup into the search by enabling the Include markup option.
Press the button to start the search. epcEdit will start searching from the current position of the insertion cursor and display the first match for the search string.
To continue searching for the next occurrence of the search string, click on the button again.
