ABCFind provides a wealth of powerful Find and Replace features that make it an absolute 'must-have' tool for any professional VB developer. As you can see from the list of awards, we're not the only people to think so.

Within minutes of loading ABCFind into the VB IDE, you will become a more productive developer. Using ABCFind, you will be able to search for multiple search expressions, across one or more projects, and then use the Search Results window to navigate around the matches. Not only can you search code contained within the VB IDE but the 'Find In Files' and 'Find in SourceSafe' functions make it easy to search for code wherever it is stored.

Here are some key features of "ABCFind":

· Seamlessly Integrates into the Visual Basic IDE (Integrated Development Environment) completely replacing the standard VB Find and Replace dialogs.
· The searching algorithms employed by ABCFind have been highly optimised for the fastest possible performance.
· Uses Regular Expressions and Wildcards to find text. Using regular expressions, you can specify to search only declaration lines or text that only occurs within string literals, to name just a few examples.
· Simultaneously looks for more than one search criteria using a logical OR operator. This reduces the time and effort required to perform multiple iterations of searches.
· The scope of a search can be restricted to one of any of those included in the standard VB implementation, such as the current module or the current project, or it can be either:
· All projects in the project group.
· All code modules that are currently open.
· All editable/checked-out modules in the project group.
· Can exclude comments from the search scope. So no more time is wasted looking at commented-out code!
· Instead of searching the latest version of the code in the VB IDE, ABCFind can search historical versions of this code in SourceSafe.
· The power of ABCFind is further enhanced by its ability to run as a standalone application rather than integrated into the VB IDE.
· Find in Files feature provides functionality to search files on a hard disk or network drive.
· Find in SourceSafe feature provides functionality to search files in any SourceSafe repositopry, including historical versions.
· Instead of searching for one match at a time, ABCFind can search for all matches with one button click and then view the results in an integrated window. Use this window to navigate to any of the found matches.
