Search a code line in Eclipse

Question

I'm developing a code in Eclipse (java). While debugging the code, I used a lot of System.out.println(...). Now I need to delete all these lines. To do this, I wrote System.out.println in Search->Java, but it hasn't provided any search result. So, how can I find all occurancies of this string System.out.println?

Answer 1

Search -> File. Input "System.out.println" and select the type of files you want to search in "*.java" (without quotes)

The "Java search" is something different. It doesn't allow you to find stuff in java files but methods/declarations/etc. in java files. For instance declare somewhere in your project "String canYou = "FindMe?";" and then do Search -> Java, input "String" and select "Type" and hit search. It should find all the String uses in you project, including the aforementioned one.

Answer 2

Try writing System.out.println anywhere in your project, select this text and afterwards press ctrl + alt + g (sorry don't know exactly what kind of search this stands for) and it will give you all the occurrences of this string in all your projects(workspace-wise). I'm 100% sure it stands for exactly something in search > java - you can take a closer look to see for exactly what. Other than that you can have a conditional execution for the logs - i.e

if(Consts.DEBUG){
    Log("something");
}

Answer 3

press Control + H

this will open up the search window, go to File Search tab and look for the system.out.println(
