search for text in bundle/unbundle

[Thomas_robertson]

I'm trying to find all instances of the text "Measurement Curve" in a bundle/unbundle node.  I did a text search in LabVIEW and it did not find any of the instances where this is being unbundled/bundled (by name), even though I can see one of them on screen while doing the search.  Either this is a really obvious bug in LabVIEW or I'm not selecting the right option.  I looked in the text search options and I couldn't find anything that seemed like it needed to be checked.  Am I supposed to go about this some other way?

Works just fine for me. If I plop down an error cluster on the front panel and then an Unbundle By Name to unbundle the "status" element, when I search for "status" it comes up with 3 matches:

• the label on the Boolean in the cluster on the front panel
• the word "status" in the description for that Boolean
• in the Unbundle By Name function

What version of LabVIEW are you using? Are you sure there are no "funny" characters in the cluster element's label?

I'm using LabVIEW 2011.  I just now noticed that if I take the text of a case structure and paste it into the search dialog it doesn't find the case selector.  Perhaps something is screwy in my LV setup.

I have it set to search for Text, Main Application Instance, case sensitive-match whole word-regular expression all off, more options->block diagram all on.  Search Scope is set to the vi I'm searching in (not all VIs as I've got about 3000 in memory).

That should say more options-> all on (not just "block diagram")

I can't replicate your problem. Try it without your project loaded and see if the same thing happens with a new VI.

It works for me as well (LV 2010).  What search scope do you have selected?

I did what you said.  It seems as if restarting LabVIEW must have fixed the problem.  

In a new vi it had no problem finding the string in a case structure, when I reloaded my application, it also had no problem finding strings in case structures.
