Method
Gtk.TextIter.forward_search
Declaration [src]
gboolean
gtk_text_iter_forward_search (
  const GtkTextIter* iter,
  const char* str,
  GtkTextSearchFlags flags,
  GtkTextIter* match_start,
  GtkTextIter* match_end,
  const GtkTextIter* limit
)
Description [src]
Searches forward for str.
Any match is returned by setting match_start to the first character
of the match and match_end to the first character after the match.
The search will not continue past limit. Note that a search is a
linear or O(n) operation, so you may wish to use limit to avoid
locking up your UI on large buffers.
match_start will never be set to a GtkTextIter located before iter,
even if there is a possible match_end after or at iter.
