How do I search for an exact match to a phrase or word in Flash Builder's search tool?
For example, in my project I have a class with a function named "removeEvent". If I search on it, I get all instances where "removeEventListener" is used and of course that is not helpful.
I have searched on the web but only come up with similarly unhelpful false hits (how ironic).
It appears I can use regex but I don't know how to do that and trying this answer to a regex question was no help
Enable the regular expression option and then use the below regex.
\bremoveEvent\b
\b
called word boundary which helps to do an exact match.. \b
matches between a word charcater and non-word character, vice-versa..
