SearchInCode

Need to search for a string contained in a proc, view, function, or trigger?  You can use sys.syscomments and JOIN to sysobjects, but it is nice to do all the JOINing beforehand and simply use a nice object dedicated to searching.

USE Admin



GO
IF Object_ID('dbo.SearchInCode') Is Not Null
      DROP PROC dbo.SearchInCode
go

CREATE PROC dbo.SearchInCode
                        @DB varchar(50),
                        @Sort bit = 1,
                        @SearchText1 varchar(200),
                        @SearchText2 varchar(200) = Null,
                        @SearchText3 varchar(200) = Null,
                        @ShowSql bit = 0
