ABCFind is a software tool that enhances productivity for VB developers with a range of advanced find and replace features. It easily integrates with VB IDE and provides many user-defined options to refine search results. Additionally, it has the capability to search SourceSafe.
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.
