I have been using Eclipse for R and C++. So far I have not been able to find a reliable "find all" function. It seems to be an easy concept, I search for a string such as "rows" and the function should return all occurences of it within the that I currently have open. (Even if it's in all files in my owrkspace, that's fine too.)
However, I have either not understood how to use the "search" functions correctly or they are very buggy.
So my question is how do I search for all occurences of a string in a file in Eclpise?
Adobe Dreamweaver, for example, has been able to do this for years.(Although it's completely unrelated to R and C++)
I would like to view a list of all occurences and then be able to click on a specific occurence to go to it.
After opening Eclipse, (corresponding to a workspace), Press "CTRL + H" anywhere and you can search anything
Just type "rows" or whatever the search term is somewhere in text, select it (so that it becomes highlighted) then press "Alt+Ctrl+g". This will perform a global search for that term, pretty handy.
