NAME

       texfind - graphical tool to search for text in TeX input files

SYNOPSIS

       texfind  [ OPTION ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       texfind  is  a  graphical,  interactive  tool that helps you searching through TeX input files, including
       subdirectories, and allows you to do search/replace tasks using perl(1) regular expressions. It opens two
       windows: One displays the directory hierarchy and allows to  select  different  search  directories.  The
       second window is used to enter the query and display the results.

SEARCHING

       Enter  a  search  string  in the input box at the top, choose the file extension (tex by default) and hit
       ENTER to start the search. The results will be displayed in the rest of the window.

       The search string is a perl regular expression (see perlre(1)), which gives you lots of flexibility.  The
       search-and-replace  function  also  uses  perl  regex  syntax,  but you can also just use simple strings.
       Currently there is no way to save changed files.

MENU

       Use the right mouse button to open a menu.

       File : Currently only used to exit the program

       Edit : Copy selections, select or unselect all

       Search : Open a Find dialog that allows further searching through  the  displayed  results.  The  Replace
              option  can  be  used  to  replace  single or all occurrences of a string, but currently it is not
              possible to change the file.

       View : Select specific lines, and adjust word or character wrapping.

OPTIONS

       --font : specify the font used for the menu. Default is courier.

       Other options probably exist.   I appreciate input by the program authors,  experienced  users,  or  Perl
              geeks.

BUGS

       None known. However, the replace function isn't the most useful one.
