Finding scripts
Using Find scripts
You can also use the find scripts box to search for any word or string in a script. You ca also limit your search to parts of the script (eg only its comments) or to scripts with specific tags.
Simple examples
search string | notes |
object | find scripts containing the word object! |
system/words | find scripts containing the string system/words |
html post | find scripts containing the words html and post [ie both words must be present] |
Limiting your search to a part of a script
By using one or more of these search modifiers you can limit your search to parts of a script:
- [b] -- body of the script
- [c] -- comments within the script
- [d] -- documentation accompanying the script
- [h] -- header -- any part of the script's REBOL header
- [s] -- strings -- any strings within the script,
- [t] -- discussion -- any discussion threads attached to the script (t for thread)
Examples of partial script searches
search string | notes |
parse[d] | find scripts with documentation that contains the word parse |
[cs] to do | find scripts containing words to and do in their comments or strings |
xml [t] | find scripts containing the word xml in their discussion thread |
Tag searches
Every script is tagged with one or more tags. You can see all the tags here.
You can include one or more tags in your search to limit the search to scripts with those explicit tags.
A tag is specified in square brackets with // separating its levels, eg [author//carl sassenrath]
Examples of tag searches
search string | notes |
[author//carl sassenrath] | find all scripts tagged as [author//carl sassenrath] |
[author//carl sassenrath][level//advanced] | find all scripts tagged as both [author//carl sassenrath] and [level//advanced] |
grid [type//game] | find all scripts tagged as [type//games] that contain the string grid |
Special tag
You can use the special tag [recent//] to limit searches to new or recently updated scripts.
Examples of recent// searches
search string | notes |
[recent//]parse | find all recently dated scripts that contain the word parse |
[recent//][level//advanced] | find all recently updated scripts of tagged as [level//advanced]. |
A few more examples
search string | notes |
cgi [type//tutorial] | find all scripts tagged as [type//tutorial] that contain the string cgi |
[recent//] | find all recently changed scripts |
[c] debug | find all scripts with the word debug in their comments |
