I am looking for a way to search for a particular file in RTC source code which can exist in any of the multiple projects in our repository. I want to search it without downloading source code on my local. We have multiple projects and each projects have multiple components.

 Hi,

These request is pretty old, but I still have the same need.
Does anyone know if there is since then a new way to find a file based on its name ? (which project area / stream / component)
Regards,
Nicolas

I don't think there is a 'file' search feature, and certainly not across multiple projects concurrently.

you could take the stream dump code I wrote for that permissions problem we had on the conversion and turn it into a search tool..  the code was on the shared drive

get all streams, loop thru stream looking for file
this will not be 'fast'

 Thanks Sam and Geoffrey for your replies. 


Sam, I will check the stream dump and will try to get a search tool. 

Geoffrey, yes this feature works but not with the regular expression pattern. 

It shows list of change sets which have a file name begins with entered text. And then you have to open each folder in change set to look for a particular file. I could not find a way to search by other criteria like contain the string etc.

From the Eclipse client, you can use the "Search -> Jazz_Source_Control -> Change_Sets" command.
That lets you search the entire repository or just a particular component, and lets you specify various properties of the file (such as filename prefix, when it was created, who created it).   It does not provide "content-based search" (e.g., find all files that contain the string "abc").
