Hey syntax,

I know your a busy guy and all, but I was thinkin...next time you put out an update to nightmare, you think you could add an option to search text-strings in the textblocks? I dunno if thats a big request or a small one, but it'd sure make it a hella lot easier!

Another feature to add perhaps would be a next button for the search field when there's more than one of what you type into the search box. ie. black dragons....when you type black dragon it stops on black dragon serpents. Maybe I'm just a noob and don't realize the simple way to do it though?

I already asked for this.. he said FUCK OFF.. ;) no not really.. but from what I understand it is like whoa hard as fuck to add a search function.. or mebbe I just mis-read it

If you didn't already know, a search for next has been written into the latest release (v0.6.6). you press the right arrow key to search for the next matching item.



as for a text search, it isn't really possible. I mean, it would have to open each record one at a time to see if it has matching text. the easiest thing to do is just export your textblocks to a textfile (tools --> database --> export), and then just search for it in that.

Hey sweet, I suggested that idea and didn't even know it was put in. Damn, saves me a lot of trouble now when I'm looking to edit deathbeam and don't want the monster's spell!
