I am starting to research a large body of VB script written by a former
employee, and I need to solve a problem I have simply worked around before,
i.e., searching all the scripts in a project for a specified character
string, e.g., "blnCustFound". When I attempt such a project-wide search in VS
2003, it seems to work, but the search for each hit takes literally 5 - 10
minutes, even if the next hit is three lines away from the last one. At this
rate, it would take days to work my way through the entire project. I have
also tried logging on to the Web server and using the Search function in
Windows Explorer; this used to work for me in W2K Server, but since we
upgraded to W2K3, the search never finds any hits, even on strings that I
know for a fact are found in many files in the search path. Any suggestions
are greatly appreciated.
