Use dnGREP,it is useful to find String in list of files or folder,sub folders….

bp_before_members_loop is not a function, it is a WP action hook. Plugins and themes can use this hook to add functionality to your members page. Read the first limo provided by chouf1 to learn more, or google “WordPress hooks”.

Also, as megainfo suggests, it’s a good idea to learn a little about grep, which will help a lot in these instances.
