Is there any plugin to search specific word within the specific method?

publicst

Hi,

I would like to know if there are way to search for any word within all of the specific overridden methods.

For example, I have countless amount of method override in one file, and I would like to search a method with for loop in it. This file would have many method declared in it but I am only interested in the overridden method that also contains for loop.

Is there any plugin that supports such a search?

Below is example.
If I search for “method” and “for”, search result would return me method 2 and 4 but not 5th one (because it is different method).

void method() // method 1
{
int a = 0;
}

void method(int a) // method 2
{
for (int i = 0; i < a; i++)
// do something
}

void method(double d) // method 3
{
double a = d;
}

void method(string s) // method 4
{
for (int i = 0; i < s.Length(); i++)
// do something
}

void otherMethod() // method 5
{
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
// do something
}

with a regex like this (?is)void method(?>(?!\}).)*for.*?\} it should be possible.

Wow that certainly does it!
Thank you so much! This saves me a lot!

Hi, @publicst, @claudia-frank and All,

A similar and more simple regex could be :

SEARCH (?s-i)void method[^}]+for.+?\}
