11.1            Searching the MIB Tree

AgenPro's MIB Tree can be searched by regular expressions. A node whose properties or attributes matches the given regular expression will be selected. With the Find Again  menu item or button you are then able to find the next node that matches the expression.

To Find a Node:

1.   Choose Find from the Edit menu or press  from the main tool bar. The search dialog will be displayed.

2.   Enter the search expression in regular expression syntax.

3.   Select whether case should ignored or not. If selected, this will insert "(?i)" at the beginning of the used search expression.

4.   Select what type of attributes of a node you want to be matched against the search expression. Choosing All will match the whole SMI text of a MIB object node, including key words, or the properties ren­dered as "key= value" node against the given search expression.

To Find a Node Again:

Choose Find Again from the Edit menu or press  from the main tool bar. The next node in depth first search order from the currently selected node will be searched, that matches the previously specified search expression and options.
