I have made different Moodle pluign & I added some hard coded string in some places instead of lang>en string file. Now if I want to identify the hard coded string location in file then how to find it?

Can anyone tell me that  Moodle provide any script or tool to identify hard coded string?

Could AMOS tool solve this probelm?

No, this is not a task for AMOS. There are couple of general text processing tools that can help you though. If you know the text you have added, use some tool that can search for a string in the given directory and subdirectories (like popular "grep" command in Linux world.
