Find shared variables

[Snamprogetti]

Is it possible to find all occurences of a certain shared variable within code?
I tried with object search and text search but none works (v8.2)

Hi,

You can use Variable Manager, select Tools»Shared Variable»Variable Manager to display the Variable Manager dialog box. Use this dialog box to edit, create, and monitor shared variables outside of the project environment. You also can manage the lifetime of the Shared Variable Engine with this dialog box.

I know Variable manager pretty well and it doesn't do what i'm looking for. I mean occurrences of SV nodes within code.
Variable manager has no relationship at all with Block diagrams...

Find a SV no.

Find All SV's yes.

 you limit your app to only one SV you are safe.

Hi!

Here a little tool which search Shared Variables in block diagrams.
Give the project path, the tool will search all VIs in project for Shared Variables and you can search them.

Thank you Ken,

Could you back save that to LV 8.2 so we can use that in our 8.2 application work?

According to the error message I get, it looks like you used a condition terminal in a For loop (new to LV 8.5) and since the code is password protected, I can't fix this myself.

Thank you,

Ben
