Are you wanting to find all the occurrences of JUST a block designator, regardless of id, array index, casting, etc.?

For example, Find X would find

X0

X10

X

X

X32:R

X8:UB

Finding X would be an extreme case, but useful at times I suppose. The issue specifically that I came across was looking for a User Data Block (PcName0-51), and I searched for PcName. But unless I specified the exact indirect address I used as an array index, I couldn't find PcName. The problem is, the reason I was looking was because I couldn't remember the name of the indirect address I used as an array index. :)

There is an option in Find to "Match exactly ". I would just like it if that box is not checked, then it would 'match partially '.

Basically, if you are finding the Timer structure T0, it will find the T0 parameter in a TMR instruction, but also T0.Acc in a MATH instruction and T0.Done in a contact. If you checked "Match Exactly ", it would ONLY find T0 in the TMR instruction, since the other two references are not EXACTLY T0.

Similarly if you use casts, say X0:UB (X0 thru X7 as an Unsigned BYTE value) in a MOVE instruction, then Finding X4 would find X0:UB in that MOVE instruction if Match Exactly was UNchecked.

Have you used the Cross Reference View? It can provide all of your Element Usage information, and the view's primary order is the data-block, so all of your PcNames* would show up in the view. What's good about the XRef View is that it is dockable/floatable, so you can move it to the side or auto-hide it and have it be available whenever you need it. The cross-referenced parameter references are links to the logic, so just double click on the specific Instruction, Address, Parameter to jump to that instruction in a Ladder View.

If you want to see ALL of your PcNames* elements displayed in your XRef View at one time, you will want to change the scope to Full (8th button from the left).
