Find asset containing string (in Content Browser)

Development Programming & Scripting
1

I was in the Content Demo project looking at the Blueprint_HUD example.

At runtime when you walk over a health icon (the blue cross) a message pops up in the
top left of the screen saying “You restored some health!”

I was looking for the place where that message is displayed.
It is probably a Printstring, however, there are 25 blueprints in the folder.
I searched through the list (11th Blueprint) and eventually found the PrintString message in BP_Pickup_Child_Health.

Is there a more efficient way of locating a string or node name (within a file) without having to open and Find in each and every file?

At work we use a software called Agent Ransack to do what you’re trying to do, it scans every file of a location of your choice and has multiple options, give it a try :slight_smile:

Cool, thanks!

I wonder if it is basically a ‘hex string finder’ underneath…
