My opinion is that the multi-line facet of HS's search & replace is the only thing it has going for it, against Eclipse, plus you can fake it in Eclipse with a regular expression like \s (any whitespace character), \n (newline), \r (carriage return) and \t (tab). Eclipse's regular expression searching is a LOT more powerful and precise than HS's. Eclipse can display results in a flat layout like HS or in a folder tree. Eclipse will save previous searches in the current session (and my sessions tend to last for days, so i can see what i searched for on monday). Also, you can define a working set, or a group of folders and projects, possibly spanning multiple projects, and search just them. All in all, I think the searching in HS is nice, maybe easier, but Eclipse is better. Maybe we should call Mike Dinowitz's emergency-only cell and ask him what he thinks. -nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
