In the Quartus^® II software, you can use the following features in the Text Editor to find information in a text file:

• With syntax coloring, you can view different elements of a text file in different colors. Syntax coloring can improve file readability and accuracy. For example, syntax coloring can help you identify misspelled keywords and sections of files that have been commented out by mistake. You can also customize the colors that are used for the different elements.

• With the Find Matching Delimiter command (Edit menu), you can find start-of-section, end-of-section, and other syntax delimiters in many text file formats. For example, if you select a "(", the Text Editor can find the next ")" after it.

• With the Find command (Edit menu), you can find all instances of a specific string of text in a text file.

• With the Find Next command (Edit menu), you can find and select the next occurrence of the specified text.

• With the Go To command (Edit menu), you can go to a specified line of text in a text file.

• With the Set Bookmark and Jump to Bookmark commands (Edit menu), you can set a bookmark on one line in a file and later jump back to that line.

• With the Delete Bookmark command (Edit menu), you can delete an existing bookmark in an open file.

• With line numbers, line continuation markers (/), and page break markers, you can quickly find a particular line in a file.
