Background: I want to figure out what Python packages all of my IPython notebooks import.

What I know: How to find all files containing the word 'import'. I know that all of my notebooks contain this word, thank you very much.

What I want: A list of the actual import lines. (I have 96 notebooks, and I don't want to manually open each one to collect this information.)

After writing this post, I figured out that I can do this in Notepad++, but there I don't have Exclude or the other extra-cool options that XY has. It's probably good enough for now, but I'm still curious.

Not possible without scripting. The gui search will only list items, not gather specific content into <something> that you could output.

Yeah, I guessed as much.

On the other hand, I guess I could use XY search to find the files I want, copy them to a temporary folder, and then use N++ search. Or, if I wanted to be super-fancy, grab a list of the paths and run it into Python.

Or you just do it from XY itself
