+ | ===== Search in folders ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is a very powerful feature of JSesh : it can search in all the glyph files contained in a folder (and its sub-folders). In a way, you can use your texts (including translations typed in JSesh) as a kind of rough linguistic database. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To use this function, use the menu **Edit/Find in Folder**. Then select the "root" folder for your search. | ||
+ | In the example below, I'm looking for attestation of Atum, using a fairly generic wildcard. Note the use of [...] to include variant signs (some possible determinatives are however missing in this search, I leave it to the interested reader as an exercice). Also note the length I have set to limit the //false positive// results. Remember that this length includes the whole result, not only the part skipped over by the "*". | ||
