Searching code for string
Hi,
Is it possible in LC to search for string in the code that's been written ? And so find the code that ccontains the string.

CAsba.
That tool is invaluable. It can find anything anywhere. I use it mainly to search the Script Editor (SE), but know that in order to access it, you cannot have the SE in focus. If you do you will only see the "local" SE version of Find and Replace, as opposed to the more powerful one accessed from a stack.
So you should have both your stack and the SE open. With the stack in focus, you can then access the tool. Make sure the "Script" checkbox is hilited.
