Complete Description not visible in Results View

[garimak84]

Hi,
We are not able to view the complete Description in the Results View. This Results View is coming from Find/Replace in Files. We are trying to find all xrefs with scope=external.
Even when we export or copy the message, ellipsis are coming instead of the entire message. Can you please help.

Hi Garima,
The description presented in the "Find/Replace in FIles" results view is limited for performance reasons, so only a small piece of content is presented containing the found piece of text. If you want to see the entire context you will need to double click each match and see directly in the editor the found content.
Regards,
Radu

Thanks, Radu.
The idea was to return all xref with scope set as external instances. We are trying to export all external web links and then run broken link checker utility to flag all broken links in a bookmap.
We have a master bookmap, which further calls another 100 bookmaps.
Do you suggest any other way to do this?
Regards,
Garima

Hi Garima,
How about if you open the master DITA Map in the Oxygen DITA Maps Manager view, click the "Validate and check for completeness" toolbar button and select the checkbox "Include remote resources"? This should validate each topic and also check web links.
