Class SearchAndReplace

java.lang.Object
  org.gjt.sp.jedit.search.SearchAndReplace

public class SearchAndReplace
extends java.lang.Object

Class that implements regular expression and literal search within jEdit buffers.

There are two main groups of methods in this class:

• Property accessors - for changing search and replace settings.
• Actions - for performing search and replace.

The "HyperSearch" and "Keep dialog" features, as reflected in checkbox options in the search dialog, are not handled from within this class. If you wish to have these options set before the search dialog appears, make a prior call to either or both of the following:

 jEdit.setBooleanProperty("search.hypersearch.toggle",true);
 jEdit.setBooleanProperty("search.keepDialog.toggle",true);

If you are not using the dialog to undertake a search or replace, you may call any of the search and replace methods (including hyperSearch(View)) without concern for the value of these properties.

public static java.lang.String getSearchString()

Returns the current search string.

setReplaceString

public static void setReplaceString(java.lang.String replace)

Sets the current replacement string.

Parameters:

replace - The new replacement string

getReplaceString

public static java.lang.String getReplaceString()

Returns the current replacement string.

setIgnoreCase

public static void setIgnoreCase(boolean ignoreCase)

Sets the ignore case flag.

Parameters:

ignoreCase - True if searches should be case insensitive, false otherwise

getIgnoreCase

public static boolean getIgnoreCase()

Returns the state of the ignore case flag.

True if searches should be case insensitive, false otherwise

setRegexp

public static void setRegexp(boolean regexp)

Sets the state of the regular expression flag.

Parameters:

regexp - True if regular expression searches should be performed

getRegexp

public static boolean getRegexp()

Returns the state of the regular expression flag.

Returns:

True if regular expression searches should be performed

setReverseSearch

public static void setReverseSearch(boolean reverse)

Determines whether a reverse search will conducted from the current position to the beginning of a buffer. Note that reverse search and regular expression search is mutually exclusive; enabling one will disable the other.

Parameters:

reverse - True if searches should go backwards, false otherwise

Returns the state of the reverse search flag.

Returns:

True if searches should go backwards, false otherwise

setBeanShellReplace

public static void setBeanShellReplace(boolean beanshell)

Sets the state of the BeanShell replace flag.

getBeanShellReplace

public static boolean getBeanShellReplace()

Returns the state of the BeanShell replace flag.

Returns:

True if the replace string is a BeanShell expression

Since:

Sets the state of the auto wrap around flag.

Parameters:

wrap - If true, the 'continue search from start' dialog will not be displayed

Since:

getAutoWrapAround

public static boolean getAutoWrapAround()

Returns the state of the auto wrap around flag.

Since:
