Hi, I need to be able to keep track of the location of specific characters in a GtkTextBuffer, and I was wondering what the most efficient way of doing that was. Is it possible to have pointers to characters in the buffer? I had thought about inserting a GtkTextMarker whenever the user types the character I'm interested in, but the documentation says: "If the text surrounding the mark is deleted, the mark remains in the position the text once occupied", and I would want the marks to be deleted along with the text. If that's the right approach, I suppose when the user deletes any text I could check all the marks to see if they were in that text and then delete them myself, but that seems a bit inefficient to me.
All and any ideas are welcome! :) ___________________________________________________________ All New Yahoo! Mail Tired of unwanted email come-ons?
