Hi all,
I'm trying to write a function that will highlight all occurances of the
string searchStr in the TextBuffer buffer. This is what I've currently got
that doesn't work.
def highlightText(buffer, searchStr):
buffer.create_tag("red_foreground", foreground="red")
start, end = buffer.get_bounds()
finished = False
while finished == False:
res = start.forward_search(searchStr, gtk.TEXT_SEARCH_TEXT_ONLY)
if not res:
finished = True
else:
matchStart, matchEnd = res
buffer.apply_tag_by_name("red_foreground", matchStart, matchEnd)
start = matchStart
What's happening is that:
res = start.forward_search(searchStr, gtk.TEXT_SEARCH_TEXT_ONLY)
is always returning None. Any clues to what I'm doing wrong would be
appreciated, or a pointer to some other Pygtk code that does something
similar.
Thanks.
