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.
