    A few years back, I picked up a tool called glimpse, from the
    University of Arizona. With this tool, you can define a "section
    delimiter" and search for a string pattern. It will output all the
    "sections" in which that pattern occured. In your case, you might be
    able to define a section delimiter as a pattern that occurs at the
    beginning of each procedure in your program.


    I still use glimpse to search through my bibliographic databases. I
    define an empty line as a delimiter between consecutive bibliographic
    entries and then search on any keyword, be it a part of the author's
    name or a part of title or whatever. The best part about glimpse is
    that you can use 'and' conditions. At that time, there was even a
    proposal to use a combination of 'and' and 'or' conditions within a
    single query. That functionality might be available now.
