The editor must be specified by configuring the EDITOR environment
variable. For example to use the 'gedit' editor, the following entry
could be added to the user's .bashrc file:
export EDITOR=gedit
by printing their contents or lines which match a search string.
Usage: ${0##*/} [OPTIONS] <filename>
options:
-a | -applications search for the file from the \$FOAM_APP directory
-d | -dir <dir> specify search directory
-f | -files find wmake 'files' file associated with searched file
-h | -help help
-i | -isearch <string> searches files for a <string>, case insensitive
-m | -modules search for the file from the \$FOAM_MODULES directory
-n | -numbers print line numbers with file output
-o | -options find wmake 'options' file associated with searched file
-p | -print print the file(s)
-s | -search <string> searches files for a <string>, case sensitive
-t | -tutorials search for the file from the \$FOAM_TUTORIALS directory
Finds one or more files in OpenFOAM and optionally processes the contents by:
+ printing the file ('-print' option);
+ printing lines within the file matching a search string ('-search' option).
With source code files, can locate the 'files' and 'options' files associated
with their compilation using 'wmake'.
By default, files are searched from the src (\$FOAM_SRC) directory.
Alternatively the '-dir' option allows the user to specify the search directory
The '-applications', '-modules' and '-tutorials' options specifically set the
search path to the \$FOAM_APP, \$FOAM_MODULES and \$FOAM_TUTORIALS directories,
respectively.
Examples:
foamFind -print wallHeatFlux.C | less
+ click space bar to scroll down
+ enter line number (after ":") to jump to line
+ enter "/text" to search for "text" (or any other string)
foamFind -applications -isearch "momentumtransport" -options fluid.C
foamFind -numbers -search laminar BirdCarreau.C
