Any way to get a "find" result as a spreadsheet?

When you use the "find" or "structural search" tool, you get a text-based result that can be exported to a file. It looks something like this:

Targets
    Occurrences of ' :' in Directory C:\svn\PsCore\trunk\Interfaces\Templates\Entrata with mask '*.tpl' (In String Literals)
Found Occurrences  (1,524 usages found)
    Usage in string constants  (1,524 usages found)
        PsCore Trunk  (1,524 usages found)
            Interfaces\Templates\Entrata\_common\cl_ads  (1 usage found)
                floorplan5.tpl  (1 usage found)
                    53 <div style="margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px;font-weight : bold;">{$property_floorplan->getFloorplanName()}</div>
            Interfaces\Templates\Entrata\accounting  (4 usages found)
                view_budget.tpl  (4 usages found)
                    151 } : 
                    178 } : 
                    237 } : 
                    264 } : 

There is no separation with commas or anything, just text. It seems like it'd be very common to want to get a spreadsheet export of these results, but there doesn't seem to be an in-app feature (I'm using phpstorm), so I wanted to know if people experienced with spreadsheets can help me out.

For the structural search, you can save a certain search as an inspection, run this inspection, and then export its results as XML.

There's no way to export find results in any way other than the one you've found already. Please vote: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-242164

Hi there,

Currently it's not possible (no such built-in functionality)
