Finding text in a sequence diagram

Runtime Tracing for C and C++

The UML/SD Viewer has an extensive search facility that allows users to locate specific UML sequence diagram elements by searching for a text string.

To search for a text string inside the UML/SD Viewer:

  1. Click inside a UML/SD Viewer window to activate it.

  2. From the Edit menu, select Find menu item. The Find dialog box opens.

  3. Type your search criteria in the Find dialog box.

  4. Click the Find Next button.

  5. If a string corresponding to the search criteria is found in the UML/SD Viewer, the string is highlighted and the following message is displayed: Runtime Tracing has finished searching the document.

  6. Click OK.

Search Options

  • Forward and Backward specifies the direction of the search.

  • The Search into option allows you to specify type of object in which you expect to find the search string.

  • The Find dialog box accepts either UNIX regular expressions or DOS-like wildcards ('?' or '*'). Select either wildcard or reg. exp. in the Find dialog box to select the corresponding mode.
