Search by File Content

• open CMD.exe
• use command:
  findstr /s /i mock *.java *.groovy
• what it does:
• search not only in the current directory but also in subdirectories (/s)
• searches for the string "mock", ignoring the case (/i)
• in all .java and .groovy files
• to find a string "pink rose", do:
  findstr /s /i /c:"pink rose" *.java *.groovy
  Without the "/c:", you will get all occurances of pink and rose.
• option /r allows to use regular expression, np.:
  findstr /i /r /c:"references .*\.country" *
