Searching For Text In A Module

The CodeModule object has a Find method that you can use to search for text within the code module.
The Find method accepts parameters that specify the range of lines and column to search.
To find the next occurrence of the text, you need to set the parameters to refer to the text following the found line and column.
The Find method returns True or False indicating whether the text was found.
This code will search all of the code in Module1 and print a Debug message for each found occurrence.
