find string in selected folder

[ransh]

Hello,

I would like to ask if there if QT in find string in selection, i.e. in the sidebar pane I selected some directory inside my project, and would like to find string in the files within that folder. Is it possible ? I see find in disk, but this is not the selection I choose.

Thanks
Ran

See QFile, potentially QTextStream.

Hi Anda,

Thanks for reply. I probably was not clear enough in my question.

I am using QT creator, and have a project in QT creator with many files ?(actually this project is the linux kernel files).

1. I wanted to search a string while standing on some folder in the project pane, but I only see that I can search disk (as if the search does not remember where I'm standing in the project browser window).

2. Another strange thing is that it open only .c .h .cpp files, and so I don't see the Makefile files for example.

Thanks for your feedback,
Ran

Why not post in the forum for questions related to Qt Creator? I'm moving the post to "Qt Tools".

By the way "QT" is "QuickTime", you probably meant "Qt".
