I don't grep as in `grep`, but as in "regex search that is part of my IDE but is not also tokenizing/whateverizing/PHP-aware." My IDE lets me search for the declaration of a method by right-clicking class->method(), but it's only able to do that because it knows how to find the class definition and look there (and it doesn't use an autoloader). If I want to do a bulk search, it switches to regex, which doesn't share that intelligence. But I haven't upgraded to the v8 of this thing, only v7, so who knows... I find it indispensable and I'm not going to switch to another one because it isn't "smart enough" to do a PHP-aware bulk search. -- S. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
