SOMA Text Search Tool - Abion47 - 12-21-2015

SOMA TEXT SEARCH TOOL

About

Since I started exploring and tweaking with all the SOMA files, there have been a number of times when I've wanted to find exactly where and how a particular function was used, or in which map I could find a certain entity. This led me to create a simple little console tool to let me quickly look for a given text tag. Over time, it proved so useful to me that I went ahead and converted it into a full-on application.

Features
  • Quickly searches files within the SOMA directory for a given keyword or text entry.
  • Toggles between searching through script files, map files, entity files, or lang files - or any combination of the four.
  • Displays the search results in a comprehensive list, complete with line numbers and a context preview.
  • Allows for the common search tags of "Match Case" and "Match Whole Word".
  • Allows for the search to include files within the mods folder.

Download

Latest Version (v1.0) - Mediafire

Currently requires .NET Framework 4.5 to run.

Installation Instructions

Just drag the executable file into SOMA's root folder (at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SOMA by default) and run the program.
