Hi,
Hi all. How I do a reverse find from the currente position using lua?
Are you using lua to find a search string? Or are you trying to get
SciTE to perform the backwards search via lua?
If the former:
Two ways I can think of.
-- 1, untested
local text = editor:textrange(0, editor.CurrentPos)
local last_pos
local s, e = string.find(text, search_string)
while s and e do
last_pos = s
s, e = string.find(text, search_string, s + 1)
end
-- last_pos contains the start position of the last occurance
-- of search_string
-- 2, untested
local pos = editor.CurrentPos
for i = pos, 0, -1 do
local text = editor:textrange(i, pos)
if string.find(text, '^'..search_string) then
pos = i
break
end
end
-- pos contains the start position of the last occurance
-- of search_string
if the latter, why not just:
scite.MenuCommand(212) -- find previous
Take care,
