How do you tell it to only search header files?
Hit command-option-F (Find In Project...), click "Options..."
button
and define your file search criteria if the built in list of
criteria
are not good enough for you.
- I think it's ridiculous to have to open a second window to do
something as simple as search the headers.
- You didn't answer my question. I already know how to open the
Options window, but I don't see any convenient way to limit a
search to my headers or the system headers.
You create a Search Set once in the Options window for places that
you look frequently, then you can use that search set in any
Project Find window in any project just by picking it from the popup.
The responses I'm getting seem to be making my point. So far I've
gotten three replies to my question and each time someone points me
to the Options window*, but no one has told me how to configure a
search of the headers. I'm sure it can be done, but IMO, it would
be obvious how to do so if Xcode's Find system were designed
better, and it says something that no one has actually explained
how to do it.
Let's take a quick stab at it - bring up the options window. We want
to make a new "Find Set", so click "Add..." and type in "In Project
Headers".
Click the radio button that says "Filter files using regex
patterns:". Click in the first column next to the pattern "\.(h|H|
hxx|hpp|i)$" so that the value is "=".
Close window. Done.
Now just select "In Project Headers" in the popup when you want to
only search in the project headers.
