Re: Bulk source search ignoring commented-out code

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Probably beating on a dead horse here.  Nevertheless, RDi has a couple 
of features you would absolutely love.

First is the "Filter view" which allows you to choose "Code" and then 
all that you see in the pane is uncommented code.  All that commented 
code just disappears until you call it back.

Second is the search.  You search for *mdy and you are given a pane with 
every instance.  You can click on an instance and the section of code 
will be presented to you in your programing pane.

I did not see an option for complex search of, say, search for *mdy only 
on uncommented lines.

Still, consider RDi.
