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.


       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.
