Dear LyXers,

I regularely use `grep` to find points in my lyx files:

  * the built-in search cannot find tokens in math (and other "hidden"
    constructs), 
  
  * grep supports regular expression search
  
  * grep allows a search accross several files, very convenient in a 
    complex document with sub-documents.
  
My editor lists the results in the form::

  absorption.lyx:293:\begin_inset Formula $\varPhi$
  absorption.lyx:302:\varPhi(x)=\varPhi_{0}e^{-ax}\end{equation}
  
and can employ the lyx-server to open the file in a running lyx.

I wonder, whether there is a lyx function that can be used to place the
cursor in the relevant line. 

(There is a function called "server-goto-file-row", however, I did not find
out what exactly it is supposed to do or what arguments it expects.)
