Re: Regular expression in iSphere Source file search

[Thomas Raddatz <thomas.raddatz@xxxxxx>]

Go to: "Window -> Show View -> Other..." and enter "error" to filter the available views to find the "Error Log" view.

I am happy it works, now.

Thomas.

I see what the problem was.  I tried  this on Thursday.  It only works on
Friday.

Thanks Thomas, I tried this morning with all the settings you mentioned and
it worked.  I'm 95% sure that I tried it yesterday with the same settings
and nothing was returned.  Today it returns results.

But now I have a working example. I think I'm going to use the regex search
more often.  Great addition to iSphere (I'm aware it's been around for a
while but it's new to me).

If I have a similar issue in the future where nothing is returned, but
should be, I'll be sure to check the Eclipse logs.  (Btw, where do I find
these?)

Thanks and I appreciate all the work you've put into iSphere.

Rob
