Using cscope to search for patterns with spaces

Question

I have the following problem. Consider this line:

uint8_t status = 0x00;

Now if I want to search for the occurence for the status, I will get LOADS of references (nearly every module uses some sort of status).

:cs find s status

Now, I thought that the best idea would be to search for: extern uint8_t status which will narrow down my search results (a little...)

:cs find e extern uint8_t status

Unfortunatelly cscope with egrep doesn't allow that. How should my call to cs find e look like, so that I will the occurence of extern uint8_t status? I have tried the following (omitting the obvious extern uint8_t...)

:cs find e status =
:cs find e status\s=
:cs find e status[:space:]=
:cs find e status[[:space:]]=

Answer 1

It seems, that the following works:

:cs find e status[ ]=
