ABCFind

ABCFind is a game-changer for Visual Basic developers seeking a powerful find and replace tool. Previously, the standard Find and Replace dialogs that came with VB lacked the necessary features to improve productivity. That's where ABCFind steps in, offering a wealth of features that integrate seamlessly into the Visual Basic IDE.

One of the standout features of ABCFind is the ability to specify more regular expressions than standard VB, such as limiting matches to only occur in declaration lines or within string literals. Furthermore, the Or operator allows for more than one expression to be found in the same pass.

Searches can be conducted across all projects in the project group, all open code modules, or all editable/checked-out modules. Additionally, ABCFind can ignore matches that occur within comments and search historical versions of the code in the associated SourceSafe database.

What's more, the power of ABCFind extends beyond the VB IDE, as it can also run as a standalone application. This allows developers to search for matches in VB projects on any hard-disk in their network, as well as in VB projects contained within SourceSafe repositories, including version history.

ABCFind is fully compatible with VB versions 5 and 6. Thanks to its comprehensive features and time-saving capabilities, ABCFind is a must-have tool for any Visual Basic developer seeking to streamline their workflow.
