Introduction

## Using Hyper Grep to Find Things

Similar to the Unix command grep, you may search a selection of files for the occurrence of a string. The Hyper Grep function is available from all windows. Select Hyper Grep either from the Search pulldown menu of the main Understand window, or from an entities Right Click menu, or from the right click menu of any marked text. If chosen off a right click menu the search will be done automatically for what was right-clicked.

### Controlling Searches

In the Hyper Grep dialog box, specify the string to search for and what files to search.

### Search Results

The HyperGrep Search Results Window shows each occurence of the string as it was found in the source line. Double clicking on the line will bring up the editor at that spot:

### Limiting Areas of Search

Search results can be filtered to include or exclude the search string as found in code statements, quoted strings, and/or comments. The list is updated automatically as each filter is selected or unselected; there is no need to perform a re-search. The number of occurrences found matching the search criteria is shown in the status bar at the bottom of the results window.
