Description: Find an instantiation of a dimension object
IMPORTANT: if you use dimension{.*} you might not get what you expect!
Search expression: dimension{.*}
Explanation:
dimension{ find the string
.* match any characters
} find } character
Regular expressions attempt ot match as widely as possible. It is important to realise that the use of .* will allow matching of any characters, including }. Consider the following situation - your source code
has a line in it like this:
oFT := FixedText{SELF,-1,oPoint,dimension{100,10},"Some text"}
The regular expresion dimension{.*} will match starting at the word dimension UP UNTIL THE LAST CHARACTER. This is because the .* operator is allowing any character, including a } to occur within the match expression.
A more useful expression to use is likely to be:
Search expression: dimension{[^}]*}
Breakdown:
dimension{ find the string
[^}]* match any characters except for }
} find } character
