在Netbeans“查找”选项中将“ *”作为字符串搜索

Question

I want to search the files containing "*" as a text in my project.

I am using netbeans IDE.

When I do this going to find option in the project it returns all the data and not specfic where "*" is found. It considers * as any word.

Does anyone have idea of doing it?

Answer 1

In file search it will work as it is with *

In project search you search for \\* and it will look for *

When you do search for * it assumes it as a reg.ex and matches to all.So you will have to use escape \\

Answer 2

Use \\* . This escapes the * and treats it as a regular character.
