Abstract
An aspect of the present invention facilitates analysis of software code written in a programming language. In one embodiment, a visual interface designed to receive values identifying constructs of the programming language is provided on a display unit. In response to receiving, from a user using the visual interface, values corresponding to a construct of interest, a rule indicating a string of characters (that would constitute the construct of interest) is generated based on the received values. The generated rule is then applied to the software code to identify blocks matching the string of characters, each block representing a corresponding occurrence of the construct of interest in the software code.
