Find String result save/print

Find String can be performed to locate where, in all or selected source, a string exists. The results show what source code the string was located in. The problem comes when you want to save the ?find result' or print it out. This capability does not exist in the result window or any other way that we can find.


Use Case:

I want to find what programs use a specific file (or field). I run ?find string' over my program source to identify all programs that use reference the file (or field). A list is generated in a separate window. The application does not have a save or print capability, so the result information can not be used in further documentation or later review.

    One more vote for exporting the results. Preferably MS Excel but MS Word and PDF would be nice too.

    It would also be nice to have the ability to export the search results to MS Word, MS Excel, or a PDF document for project documentation purposes.
