I'm working on porting a simple text note taking application from motif to
gtk. The basics were very easy to get working, but I'm a little stuck on how
to implement search.
In the old implementation, I got the text data, got the curser offset and did
the search with regex.
Looking through the gtk docs, I see there are GtkTextView and GtkSourceView
widgets with corresponding Buffer objects. TextBuffer lists insensitive search
as a
"possible future" feature, while SourceBuffer implements insensitive search,
but still lists regex as "possible future".
I don't need most of what SourceView does, I'm only dealing with plain text.
2 questions.
#1 if I have:
GtkTextMark *mark;
GtkTextBuffer *bf;
data = gtk_text_buffer_get_text (bf, &start, &end, FALSE);
mark = gtk_text_buffer_get_insert (bf);
is there a simple way to convert mark into an offset into data?
I realize that won't work right with non-ascii characters.
#2 is there yet another set of gtk objects that will give me regex and case
insensitive searches using an official api?
