Geany: How to find and count?


I know of a rather powerful feature in Notepad++ where you can search the entire document for a specific string and count its number of occurrences. That is all in the Find function (Ctrl+F).

E.g. Data: Error reading file Error reading file Error in line #3 Error reading file Error in line #5

Find & Count*: "line" = 2

I could not seem to find this* function in Geany. If there is already a plugin for this, please share it. Otherwise, please share on how would one do the same -- without switching to another editor.


Solution

  • You can check message output. After searching just check "Messages" tab.
