Search particular text in all files having same name [Sublime text 3]


I want to search for some text (foo) in all the files having same name in a directory (bar.yml).
I tried using */bar.yml, **/bar.yml, *bar.yml and a whole lot of other combinations in the Where part of find_all, but nothing seems to be working.

Is there a way to do this in Sublime Text 3 ?


Solution

  • Sublime looks for files inside a folder structure recursively, as far as I know.

    Open the parent folder structure via File/Open Folder... and open the search dialog via Ctrl+Shift+F. Now add your search term to Find: and your filter bar.yml to Where:. That should do it.
