 |
|
Anyone have some code to share that is a search and replace for an edit box? Like the search and replace for notepad or any other text editor for that matter. I am finishing up my HTML editor and I have a find and find next, but I would really like to have a replace/replace all function as well and I am haveing a bit of trouble with it.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Chris,
Here's a 'Find' snippett. Should be able to easily add 'Replace' to it.
| Code: |
REM %%line is the current line number or the line number where the caret is
%%fndTxt = @input(Enter search text,%%fndTxt)
REM Char index is the zero based position from the beginning of the string
REM to the current pos of the caret.
REM %%charIndex = @richedit(charIndex,%%ed1)
if @not(@null(%%fndTxt))
list create,1
list assign,1,@dlgtext(Ed2)
list seek,1,%%line
%%text = @substr(@text(7),%%charIndex,@len(@text(7)))
%M = @match(1,%%fndTxt)
%%nLine = @index(1)
%P = @pred(@pos(%%fndTxt,%%text))
REM Change the following to use the corresponding @sendmsg()
REM edit control messages.
REM richedit setsel,%%ed1,%P,@sum(%P,@len(%%fndTxt))
REM richedit scrollCaret,%%ed1
list close,1
end
|
Hope this helps, as it is all I can locate at the moment. 
Looking over this code, I'm not sure where the reference to string list 7
comes from, as I cannot find the list being used within the program at all.
From the looks of it though, you should be able to change the string list 7
to a 1.

Mac once made a Notepad example which could search within an editbox by using the @sendmsg function, if you can find that and just send a keystroke to the edit control once some text is selected, you should be able to create your own Notepad-like search and replace...
