Hello,

I'm going to drop this here although I'm not sure it is the solution you are looking for.
You can easily locate resource files by using the "Find in Files" option in notepad ++. This though requires you have access to the site folders with notepad++. Simple steps:
-Run notepad++
-Press ctrl+f
-Select the 3rd tab "Find in files"
-Fill in the fields. "Find what" is the resource you are looking for, "Filters" put the resource file extension *.resx, "Directory" set the root folder. The rest fields leave as they are
-Press "Find all"

In the results you will see where exactly you can locate the resource you are looking for.
For the record, I never managed to get the hold of resources. There is a logic behind the structure and for the most part it is an applicable logic, but there are cases I just can't follow the logic. For example, try to localize all registration and login resources (password reset and everything), there is no way to get them all on one go, there is bound to be a resource from hell which will torture you.

that's how I use to locate strings as well, if I have no clue where it resides (most of the time I do)

Yippieeee... quick and easy :)

That did the trick. No more goofing around for hours trying to figure out where stuff is :)

Thanks for the simple but extremely effective tip.

:D

You can do a global search using a search tool like the free Agent Ransack https://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack. I love their commercial FileLocator Pro.
