Detailed Description

Object to help to search for regexp.

This should be NO QObject, it is created to often! I measured that, if you create it 20k times to replace for example " " in a document, that takes seconds on a modern machine!

Member Function Documentation

buildReplacement()

QString KateRegExpSearch::buildReplacement ( const QString & text, const QStringList & capturedTexts, int replacementCounter )

static

Returns a modified version of text where.

• escape sequences are resolved, e.g. "\\n" to "\n",
• references are resolved, e.g. "\\1" to 1st entry in capturedTexts, and
• counter sequences are resolved, e.g. "\\#...#" to replacementCounter.

Parameters

text	text containing escape sequences, references, and counter sequences
capturedTexts	list of substitutes for references
replacementCounter	value for replacement counter

Returns

resolved text

escapePlaintext()

QString KateRegExpSearch::escapePlaintext ( const QString & text )

static

Returns a modified version of text where escape sequences are resolved, e.g.

"\\n" to "\n".

Parameters

text	text containing escape sequences

Returns

text with resolved escape sequences

search()

QList< KTextEditor::Range > KateRegExpSearch::search	(	const QString &	pattern,
		KTextEditor::Range	inputRange,
		bool	backwards = false,
		QRegularExpression::PatternOptions	options = QRegularExpression::NoPatternOption )

Search for the regular expression pattern inside the range inputRange.

If backwards is true, the search direction will be reversed. options is a set of QRegularExpression::PatternOptions OR flags that control certain aspects of the search, e.g. case sensitivity and if the dot "." metacharacter matches any character including a newline.

Note: Unicode support is always enabled (QRegularExpression::UseUnicodePropertiesOption). If the pattern is multi-line the QRegularExpression::MultilineOption is enabled.

Parameters

pattern	text to search for
inputRange	Range to search in
backwards	if true, the search will be backwards
options	QRegularExpression pattern options, we will internally add QRegularExpression::UseUnicodePropertiesOption

Returns

Vector of ranges, one for each capture group. The first range (index zero) spans the whole match. If no matches are found, the vector will contain one element, an invalid range (see Range::isValid()).
