If any of you have tried looking for a specific text string 'somewhere' in a package with fifty or more components using the above function, you will find that this function does an adequate job of identifying the 'found' occurrences - in XML format. But what component does each occurrence belong to?
It would be great if the component containing the found text could be opened, or selected, when the found text is clicked. You've done the design using the GUI - who wants to look at the unfamiliar XML behind it?
But as far as I know, that's what you have to do to determine which component contains the 'found' text. Unless anyone knows a better way?

Phil,
Yes, that would be a handy feature. But, then again, knowing how to grovel around in, and make sense of, the barely decipherable source code is why we get paid the big bucks, right?

Damn right. I really feel like I'm doing valuable work when I'm chest deep in obtuse XML hierarchies.
Perhaps I should withdraw the post and take a few minutes to reflect on just how lucky I am to be doing this 😀
