Stored procedures
Searches for a string in an HTML Editor control. The search does not take into account the formatting of the string.
Example
// Count the number of "WINDEV"
// (including instances where WIN is in bold)
nbWord is int = 0
HTMLEditorSearch(HTMEDT_MyHTMLEditor, "WINDEV",  ...
HTMLEditorSearch_Callback, WholeWord + IgnoreCase)
 
INTERNAL PROCEDURE HTMLEditorSearch_Callback(nPos is int)
IF nPos = 0 THEN
// End of iteration
Info("Instances of WINDEV: " + nbWord)
RETURN
END
// Found
nbWord++
END
Syntax
HTMLEditorSearch(<HTML Editor control> , <Text to find> , <WLanguage procedure> [, <Options> [, <Maximum number>]])
<HTML Editor control>: Control name
Name of the HTML Editor control used.
<Text to find>: Character string
Text to search for in the HTML Editor control.
<WLanguage procedure>: Procedure name
WLanguage procedure ("callback") executed for each element found. This procedure has the following format:
PROCEDURE <Procedure name>(nPosition is int)
where <nPosition> is an integer that corresponds to the position of the searched text with respect to the text without tags. This value can be used: At the end of the search, <nPos> is set to 0.
<Options>: Optional constant (or combination of constants)
Search options:
IgnoreCaseCase and accent insensitive search (ignores uppercase and lowercase differences).
WholeWordSearch for the whole word (enclosed in punctuation characters or in space characters).

By default, the search is case-sensitive: the searched text and the text to find must have the same case. To perform a case-insensitive search, use the IgnoreCase constant.
<Maximum number>: Optional integer
Maximum number of elements to be found. Limits the search (for example, take into account only the first 5 elements found).
