Variables
Sort parameters are saved in the file of the document and restored upon reentry into the variable editor.
When sorting capability is turned off the user can also utilize +,
+ to change the order of the lines in the variable editor. The changes in the
sequence of the lines are saved in the document’s file separately for the main window of the variable editor
and for the auxiliary window “Variables” (see section “Working with variable editor in transparent mode”).
Finding Variables
Upon working with a large list of variables, it is sometimes convenient to use the command of searching for
variable by name:
Keyboard Textual menu Icon
«Edit|Find»
After calling this command the dialog window pops up, in
which the search parameters are required to be specified.
After specifying the parameters, the button [Find
Next] has to be pressed. If the search process was
completed successfully, the cursor is moved to the
column “Expression” for the found variable. If the
variable was not found, the cursor stays at the same place,
and in the message line of the editor the message appears:
“Cannot find specified string”.
Upon specifying parameters it is important to pay attention to the state of the flag “Match Case”. By
default, this flag is activated. In this case the system looks for the variable, the name of which coincides
exactly with the specified string in the field “Find what”. When this flag is off, the system searches for the
variable for which the text, specified in the field “Find what”, enters the variable's name as a substring.
