You can do this with a post-search filter...

First, search for just one word: "delete"

that will give you ALL the matches that have DELETE in the line.

Then, use the FILTER button and add "sam" as a "Matched Line" filter.

Please let me know if this accomplishes what you want.

OOPS - Now that I've gone back and re-read your question and the replies, I see that you are trying to search for multiple words across multiple lines. Ouch - that's gonna be tough, and certainly my initial comment above is not helpful.

The reason that this would be very difficult, is, image a long PRG or CLASS with lots of procedures definitions...If you allow the search to simply "span multiple lines", then, heck, you could wind up finding matches where one match word was found in one PROC and the other match word was found in another PROC, and that would not be what you really want.

So, there still has to be "boundaries" that limit where the matches must fall in order to make the results meaningful. Like between "PROC / ENDPROC" or "FUNC/ENDFUNC"

Like anything, all this is indeed possible, but, wow, a lot of work!



>The title is my question. I downloaded GoFish (latest beta) and took a cursory look at the info about it. I saw examples of calling it from code but didn't notice anything about using it as part of the IDE. The reason I am interested in doing that is I would like to do something that doesn't seem possible in Code References (which I like a lot and use routinely).
