Case-sensitive search is usually faster and I added `matchcase` out of habit :)
In your case, this option will not interfere, but if you want, you can use an
empty value (i.e. `{}`) instead and `geany.find` will ignore the case of
characters.
If we try to simplify it as much as possible, we'll probably get something like
this:
_next_:
```lua
local iCurPos = geany.caret()
local iS, iE = geany.find("##########################", iCurPos + 1,
geany.length(), {"matchcase"})
if iS ~= nil then
geany.select(iS, iE)
else
geany.message("Not found.")
end
```
_previous_:
```lua
local iCurPos = geany.caret()
local iS, iE = geany.find("##########################", iCurPos - 1, 0,
{"matchcase"})
if iS ~= nil then
geany.select(iS, iE)
else
geany.message("Not found.")
end
```
I use `iCurPos + 1` and `iCurPos - 1` so that the search does not capture the
text in the current position (when we have "CURSOR##########################"
or "##########################CURSOR"). It sounds logical, but I'm not sure if
it's really necessary :)
