If you select "List with filenames" in "Display matched lines as" section, Wildfilew.vdm creates file search.tmp for the search results. The file is opened in an edit window. The file displays full pathname of each file where the search string was found, followed by all the lines where the string was found.
Double-click on the line in this listing. This opens the corresponding file and moves cursor to the line where the string was found.
You can save search.tmp with different filename if you want to keep the search results for later use. This way you can have multiple search results in different windows.
Note: Wildfilew.vdm creates a double-click event macro if you do not have one already loaded. If you do already have a double-click event macro loaded, it is not overwritten. If you want to replace your old event macro with the one created by Wildfilew.vdm, you must manually empty text register 116 before running Wildfilew.
