How to find variable location?

I have one main script file say main_file. When I run this main_file it call several other files where in all those files differnt parameters are defined. After running script my workspace is populated with differnt parameters. I pick one parameter say Accel_30_responce and I want to see its location that in which script this variable is defined. How can I do that? When I right click on the variable and select open selection it takes me to the variables instead of taking me to the the source file. So how can I go to source file ?

The way I would go about this is to open "Find Files"

and search for files containing the text "Accel_30_responce".

In this scenario, to find the source file where a specific variable like "Accel_30_responce" is defined, you can use the following steps:

Look for the variable "Accel_30_responce" in your workspace.

Once you locate the variable, note down its value or any other identifying information.

Search for this variable or its value in all the script files that are being called by your main script file "main_file."

By doing this, you can track down the source file where "Accel_30_responce" is defined and find my location.

This method should help you pinpoint the source file where the variable is defined and determine its location within your script files.
