SupaFind is a Visual Basic text search and change control tool. It will quickly become indispensable in controlling any project – whether large or small. SupaFind has been created with the Visual Basic environment in mind, however its capabilities can be extended to other development environments.
SupaFind becomes essential when:
Dealing with the maintenance of projects, as they grow larger.
Numerous programmers had been involved.
There are inconsistent programming standards
The programmer is swamped trying to make sense of numerous variables
For the super intellect, it may be possible to meander through a morass of Visual Basic program logic, and maintain the sense of a program. But for mere mortals, who have to trace through the project by continually hitting the f3 key, trying to remember every detail becomes a nightmare.
There is need to have a more methodical approach to identifying which variables are being used, through all the tortuous logic paths.
SupaFind makes this just so much
easier. Simply search for a key word or phrase, and get an immediate overview of the occurrences of the search item. If there are too many hits, use the Search and Selection Options to restrict output. Then print off the results, and examine the program logic, line by line, with much more precision. And without having to lose one’s place in the Source Code.
Change Control: Having made all the changes needed for the next release, how can one tell precisely what changes were made? SupaFind has a simple way of ensuring that the programmer has complete control of all changes made. All the project files in a backup directory can be compared to the current source directory. A File Difference report between the directories will show each and every change that has been made. This control process should be an essential part of the development process.
