I thought I saw an answer to this earlier, but can't find it*...
Write's search-and-replace of the WYSIWYG content of a project's source is excellent. Is there a way to search the XML? We're trying to root out some issues with tags CSS and Styleclass.
____
* I seem to remember something like, open all the files in Notepad++, then use Notepad++'s "Find... in All Opened Documents"
Is there a way to search XML content across the entire source?

Hi Dave,
Use Notepad++ (free, https://notepad-plus-plus.org ) which has a Search > Find in Files... function. No need to open any of the files.
Set it to search all XML files in the project Topics folder.
Click on the search results to open the file in Notepad++.
Don't have the project open in H&M.
cheers,
Martin.

Hi Dave,
Further to Martin's comment: Your project needs to be saved in the uncompressed HMXP format to do this. We strongly recommend using this format for any ongoing work anyway. It is much more robust against Windows crashes and other errors, and it is required for multi-user editing, version control, translation with external tools and any kind of external editing like this.

Thanks, Martin. It's likely I would have missed the easier, non-opening option that you pointed out.
Tim, yes, the project is an HMXP.
