CHARACTER STRING RETRIEVAL AND DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily meaningful retrieval in consideration of the constitution of a program without any waste by retrieving which constituent element includes an arbitrary character string inputted from an input device within a specified retrieval range and finding the description line position of a function including the specified character string by referring to a stored function list. SOLUTION: A character string retrieval setting part 111 is used first and the character string to be retrieved and its retrieval range are specified through an input/output device 102. A character string retrieval part 112 acquires a function list of modules having the same name as a specified module name according to the specified module name and transfers and stores it as a function list 115 in a memory 103. Then the function start line position and function end line position in the function list 115 are obtained. When the module is not at the end, it is checked whether or not there is the specified character string in the obtained line and a character string retrieval result finding part 113 is used to check which function the character string is present in according to the position of the line.
