Find function

The Find function in KLV allows you to find a keyword or text in the file. Navigate to Edit > Find > Find or press Ctrl + F to open the menu.

Type the text you want to locate in your file into the Find text box.

• Check "Whole word" to match only against text that is a whole word.

  For example, if you search for "cat", it will find a match against the words cat and catalogue. To match only against the word cat, check the "Whole word" option.

• Check "Match case" if you only want to match text that has exactly the same case as your search term.

  For example, if you search for "cat", it will find a match against the words cat and Cat. To match only against the word cat, check the "Match case" option.

Regular Expression (RegEx) pattern matching is a very flexible and powerful way of matching text. See Regular Expression Syntax for more.

Press the Next or Previous buttons to search the file for the text you have entered. The search begins from the current place in the file. If you want to start the search from the top, press the Home key before you bring up the Find window. If the text can't be found on the displayed page, the file is searched. A progress dialog will appear on the screen until a match is found.

• To move to the next match, press the F3 key.
• To move to the previous match, press the F2 key.
• To find the next highlighted line, press the F8 key.
• To find the previous highlighted line, press the F7 key

As a general guide, the Find function will take about one minute to search through a 1GB file.

In the case of a match, rows containing the match will be highlighted. If a match is not found, you will hear a beep.
