This is how to search your local file system for a file
with a known name or pattern.
Before you begin
If
you are going to work with local files in the
Remote Systems view,
you must first have defined a filter for the local file system. This
filter might be mapped to the root of the system or to a specific
location in the file system.
Procedure
- Select the local file system you want to search by clicking
on the file system on the tree view.
- Click + to expand Local and Local
Files. The view lists filters for the
local system.
- Expand the appropriate filter to see your local folders
and files.
- Select a folder to search and then click Search on
the pop-up menu. The Search window opens with the Folder filled
in. The cursor is positioned at the Search string (leave
empty for file search) text field.
- If you want to specify a name pattern to search, enter
the name pattern in the File name patterns field
and select Search. If the
search is successful, the results are displayed.
- Look through the list of results and select the file you
want to see.
- Click Open. The
file opens in the editor.
