Hi, this is probably for Taco:
Is there a possibility in the source browser to search for macros (\something) or anything containing dots (logs.errors)? Because neither “simple” nor with Lua patterns I get any results.
E.g. I wanted to look for all trackers and/or directives.
Hi Hraban,
has it to be the source browser?
I mean, I use grep in Linux (MSYS2 in Windows [and brew.sh is available for macOS]) and it works perfectly fine with ConTeXt.
$ grep -irl fi[eë][eë] context context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/char-def.lua context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/lilypond/t-lilypond.tex
Althought regular expressions are fine, I don’t know why "fi[eë]+" doesn’t work in this case.
Just in case it might help,
Thank you – I found grep -R "regex" ~/context to be most easy. But I like the source browser with its syntax highlighting, and it’s a pity that the search is so limited. Hraban
