Text search though all .xib files in Xcode?

Question

This seems like such a basic task, but I\'m stumped.

How, in Xcode, do you execute a textual search though (the XML contents of) all the .xib files in a project?

Answer 1

U may use this function in your bash profile:

function grep_xib {
    grep -i -r --include=*.xib "$1" .
}

Then just call in terminal "grep_xib TEXT_TO_FIND". It's easier.

To create a .bash_profile on your mac follow this steps:

• Start up Terminal
• Type "cd ~/" to go to your home folder
• Type "touch .bash_profile" to create your new file.
• Edit .bash_profile with your favorite editor (or you can just type "open -e .bash_profile" to open it in TextEdit.
• Type ". .bash_profile" to reload .bash_profile and update any functions you add.
