- Subject: Tk2.3/3.0: text search?
- Lines: 19
-
- I notice, to my surprise, that the text widget includes no "search"
- command. For even moderate texts, it seems to me a Very Bad Thing to
- create the entire contents of a text as a string in core just for the
- purpose of using regexp/string commands on it, while for large texts it
- is a Total Disaster. Before I go digging through tkTextBTree.c and
- friends, does anyone have any obvious solutions? The one that comes to
- my mind is to use mxedit instead, but there are things about the text
- widget I rather like...
-
- Hoping I've overlooked something,
- Yours,
