Searching thru a library of script code

Postby syswizard » 15 Dec 2018

Is it possible to output the source code of all of my script functions, indicators, signals, etc. so that I can search on certain keywords in the source code ?
The PLA format cannot be searched as far as I can tell.

Hello, syswizard!

There’s no such command in PowerLanguage that would allow outputing the studies’ codes to a single text file.
You’ll need to copy/paste them manually.

For a future enhancement, will you please consider this as a new Export option: Export-to-Text ?

I've added this request to the project management dashboard.
This cannot be all that difficult to implement....and it has vast implications for code analysis.

syswizard,

at the moment it is possible to perform the search in the current document only (from Edit -> Find, or by pressing Ctrl+F). Exporting scripts to a text file is not likely to be added, but we might introduce the possibility to make search across all scripts. Please modify your request accordingly if the searching possibility is what you’re after.

I tried, but I was unable to login to the Project Management portal....and I could not reset my password.
Something is wrong here....it didn't recognize my Userid.

Just in case you are not aware,
the project management is a different program. It does not use the same userid/password as this forum.

I am aware of that fact. However, the Bug Genie portal is all messed-up...won't recognized my userid or email for a password reset.
Something is wrong with it's authentication mechanism.
