GoFish is an advanced code search tool for fast searching and replacing of Visual FoxPro source code.
Note: Matt's original repository is at https://github.com/mattslay/GoFish but since he sadly passed away in 2021, this fork is now the one the VFPX project list links to so others can contribute to the project. The main project is now https://github.com/VFPX/GoFish
This is project is part of VFPX
Project manager: Doug Hennig, Lutz Scheffler
Project location: GoFish
The main goal of this project is:
- Providing advanced code search search in code in Visual FoxPro source code
- Providing advanced replace
- GoFish can search content on any other text file too, the difference is to deal with VFP table based sources

The questions, bug reports, discussions forum GoFish Discussion Group is not longer maintained. Please use the issues page on github.
Due to the way GoFish stores the code around the hits, the search may fail with memo file to large. See issue #49.
This may happen as well, if too many results are visible in the history (with memo loaded).
The search brings one hit per line, even if there is more then one hit in this line.
The replace function just replaces all hits per line. There is not hint about multiple hits at all.
