Quincy Tools
Quincy includes a suite of programmer's tools on the Tools menu. They include:
Grep
Quincy's grep tool searches all the source code files in the current source file directory, usually the directory where the current active source code file is stored but also in the directory of a Quincy
Project if one is currently loaded. Grep searches the source code files for a match on a specified string argument.
- Select Grep from Quincy's Tools menu to display the Grep dialog shown here.

- Type the search string argument into the edit box control on the Grep dialog.
- Select Match Case and/or Match Word to instruct grep to match specifically the case you entered and to select only whole words and not substrings within words.
- Click OK to begin the search.
Quincy opens the Grep Results dialog shown here.

As grep finds matches in the files, it displays them in the Grep Results dialog.
- To terminate grep before it completes the search, click the Stop tool button.
- When grep is completed, you can double click any of the source code lines reported to open that source code file in Quincy's editor with the insertion cursor positioned on the selected line.
- Click Close on the Grep Results dialog to close its window.
