Detailed Description

A generic implementation of the "find" function.

Detail:

This class includes prompt handling etc. Also provides some static functions which can be used to create custom behavior instead of using the class directly.

Example:

To use the class to implement a complete find feature:

In the slot connected to the find action, after using KFindDialog:

// This creates a find-next-prompt dialog if needed.
m_find = new KFind(pattern, options, this);
// Connect textFound() signal to code which handles highlighting of found text.
connect(m_find, &KFind::textFound, this, [this](const QString &text, int matchingIndex, int matchedLength) {
slotHighlight(text, matchingIndex, matchedLength);
}));
// Connect findNext signal - called when pressing the button in the dialog
connect(m_find, SIGNAL(findNext()),
this, SLOT(slotFindNext()));
void textFound(const QString &text, int matchingIndex, int matchedLength)
Connect to this signal to implement highlighting of found text during the find operation.
QString pattern() const
Definition kfind.cpp:654
KFind(const QString &pattern, long options, QWidget *parent)
Only use this constructor if you don't use KFindDialog, or if you use it as a modal dialog.
Definition kfind.cpp:74
long options() const
Return the current options.
Definition kfind.cpp:622
QMetaObject::Connection connect(const QObject *sender, PointerToMemberFunction signal, Functor functor)

Then initialize the variables determining the "current position" (to the cursor, if the option FromCursor is set, to the beginning of the selection if the option SelectedText is set, and to the beginning of the document otherwise). Initialize the "end of search" variables as well (end of doc or end of selection). Swap begin and end if FindBackwards. Finally, call slotFindNext();

void slotFindNext()
{
KFind::Result res = KFind::NoMatch;
while (res == KFind::NoMatch && <position not at end>) {
if (m_find->needData())
m_find->setData(<current text fragment>);
// Let KFind inspect the text fragment, and display a dialog if a match is found
res = m_find->find();
if (res == KFind::NoMatch) {
<Move to the next text fragment, honoring the FindBackwards setting for the direction>
}
}
if (res == KFind::NoMatch) // i.e. at end
<Call either m_find->displayFinalDialog(); m_find->deleteLater(); m_find = nullptr;
or if (m_find->shouldRestart()) { reinit (w/o FromCursor); m_find->resetCounts(); slotFindNext(); }
else { m_find->closeFindNextDialog(); }>
}
@ FromCursor
Start from current cursor position.
Definition kfind.h:103
@ FindBackwards
Go backwards.
Definition kfind.h:106

Don't forget to delete m_find in the destructor of your class, unless you gave it a parent widget on construction.

This implementation allows to have a "Find Next" action, which resumes the search, even if the user closed the "Find Next" dialog.

A "Find Previous" action can simply switch temporarily the value of FindBackwards and call slotFindNext() - and reset the value afterwards.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ KFind() [1/4]

KFind::KFind ( const QString & pattern,
long options,
QWidget * parent )

Only use this constructor if you don't use KFindDialog, or if you use it as a modal dialog.

Definition at line 74 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ KFind() [2/4]

KFind::KFind ( const QString & pattern,
long options,
QWidget * parent,
QWidget * findDialog )

This is the recommended constructor if you also use KFindDialog (non-modal).

You should pass the pointer to it here, so that when a message box appears it has the right parent. Don't worry about deletion, KFind will notice if the find dialog is closed.

Definition at line 89 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ KFind() [3/4]

KFind::KFind ( KFindPrivate & dd,
const QString & pattern,
long options,
QWidget * parent )
protected

Definition at line 79 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ KFind() [4/4]

KFind::KFind ( KFindPrivate & dd,
const QString & pattern,
long options,
QWidget * parent,
QWidget * findDialog )
protected

Definition at line 94 of file kfind.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ closeFindNextDialog()

void KFind::closeFindNextDialog ( )

Close the "find next?" dialog.

The application should do this when the last match was hit. If the application deletes the KFind, then "find previous" won't be possible anymore.

IMPORTANT: you should also call this if you are using a non-modal find dialog, to tell KFind not to pop up its own dialog.

Definition at line 636 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ dialogClosed

void KFind::dialogClosed ( )
signal

Emitted when the 'find next' dialog is being closed.

Some apps might want to remove the highlighted text when this happens. Apps without support for "Find Next" can also do m_find->deleteLater() to terminate the find operation.

◆ dialogsParent()

QWidget * KFind::dialogsParent ( ) const
protected

Definition at line 701 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ displayFinalDialog()

void KFind::displayFinalDialog ( ) const
virtual

Displays the final dialog saying "no match was found", if that was the case.

Call either this or shouldRestart().

Reimplemented in KReplace.

Definition at line 567 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ find() [1/2]

KFind::Result KFind::find ( )

Walk the text fragment (e.g.

in a text-processor line or spreadsheet cell ...etc) looking for matches. For each match, emits the textFound() signal and displays the find-again dialog to ask if the user wants to find the same text again.

Definition at line 205 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ find() [2/2]

int KFind::find ( const QString & text,
const QString & pattern,
int index,
long options,
int * matchedLength,
QRegularExpressionMatch * rmatch )
static

Search text for pattern.

If a match is found, the length of the matched string will be stored in matchedLength and the index of the matched string will be returned. If no match is found -1 is returned.

If the KFind::RegularExpression flag is set, the pattern will be iterpreted as a regular expression (using QRegularExpression).

Note
Unicode support is always enabled (by setting the QRegularExpression::UseUnicodePropertiesOption flag).
Parameters
textThe string to search in
patternThe pattern to search for
indexThe index in text from which to start the search
optionsThe options to use
matchedlengthIf there is a match, its length will be stored in this parameter
rmatchIf there is a regular expression match (implies that the KFind::RegularExpression flag is set) and rmatch is not a nullptr the match result will be stored in this QRegularExpressionMatch object
Returns
The index at which a match was found otherwise -1
Since
5.70

Definition at line 489 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ findNextDialog()

QDialog * KFind::findNextDialog ( bool create = false)

Return (or create) the dialog that shows the "find next?" prompt.

Usually you don't need to call this. One case where it can be useful, is when the user selects the "Find" menu item while a find operation is under way. In that case, the program may want to call setActiveWindow() on that dialog.

Definition at line 188 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ index()

int KFind::index ( ) const
Returns
the current matching index (or -1). Same as the matchingIndex parameter passed to the textFound() signal. You usually don't need to use this, except maybe when updating the current data, so you need to call setData(newData, index()).

Definition at line 647 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ needData()

bool KFind::needData ( ) const
Returns
true if the application must supply a new text fragment It also means the last call returned "NoMatch". But by storing this here the application doesn't have to store it in a member variable (between calls to slotFindNext()).

Definition at line 123 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ numMatches()

int KFind::numMatches ( ) const

Returns the number of matches found (i.e.

the number of times the textFound() signal was emitted). If 0, can be used in a dialog box to tell the user "no match was found". The final dialog does so already, unless you used setDisplayFinalDialog(false).

Definition at line 677 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ options()

long KFind::options ( ) const

Return the current options.

Warning: this is usually the same value as the one passed to the constructor, but options might change during the replace operation: e.g. the "All" button resets the PromptOnReplace flag.

See also
KFind::Options

Definition at line 622 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ optionsChanged

void KFind::optionsChanged ( )
signal

Emitted when the options have changed.

This can happen e.g. with "Replace All", or if our 'find next' dialog gets a "find previous" one day.

◆ parentWidget()

QWidget * KFind::parentWidget ( ) const
protected

Definition at line 696 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ pattern()

QString KFind::pattern ( ) const
Returns
the pattern we're currently looking for

Definition at line 654 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ resetCounts()

void KFind::resetCounts ( )
virtual

Call this to reset the numMatches count (and the numReplacements count for a KReplace).

Can be useful if reusing the same KReplace for different operations, or when restarting from the beginning of the document.

Reimplemented in KReplace.

Definition at line 684 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ setData() [1/2]

void KFind::setData ( const QString & data,
int startPos = -1 )

Call this when needData returns true, before calling find().

Parameters
datathe text fragment (line)
startPosif set, the index at which the search should start. This is only necessary for the very first call to setData usually, for the 'find in selection' feature. A value of -1 (the default value) means "process all the data", i.e. either 0 or data.length()-1 depending on FindBackwards.

Definition at line 141 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ setData() [2/2]

void KFind::setData ( int id,
const QString & data,
int startPos = -1 )

Call this when needData returns true, before calling find().

The use of ID's is especially useful if you're using the FindIncremental option.

Parameters
idthe id of the text fragment
datathe text fragment (line)
startPosif set, the index at which the search should start. This is only necessary for the very first call to setData usually, for the 'find in selection' feature. A value of -1 (the default value) means "process all the data", i.e. either 0 or data.length()-1 depending on FindBackwards.

Definition at line 146 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ setOptions()

void KFind::setOptions ( long options)
virtual

Set new options.

Usually this is used for setting or clearing the FindBackwards options.

See also
KFind::Options

Definition at line 629 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ setPattern()

void KFind::setPattern ( const QString & pattern)

Change the pattern we're looking for.

Definition at line 661 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ shouldRestart()

bool KFind::shouldRestart ( bool forceAsking = false,
bool showNumMatches = true ) const
virtual

Returns true if we should restart the search from scratch.

Can ask the user, or return false (if we already searched the whole document).

Parameters
forceAskingset to true if the user modified the document during the search. In that case it makes sense to restart the search again.
showNumMatchesset to true if the dialog should show the number of matches. Set to false if the application provides a "find previous" action, in which case the match count will be erroneous when hitting the end, and we could even be hitting the beginning of the document (so not all matches have even been seen).

Reimplemented in KReplace.

Definition at line 580 of file kfind.cpp.

◆ textFound

void KFind::textFound ( const QString & text,
int matchingIndex,
int matchedLength )
signal

Connect to this signal to implement highlighting of found text during the find operation.

If you've set data with setData(id, text), use the textFoundAtId(int, int, int) signal.

WARNING: If you're using the FindIncremental option, the text argument passed by this signal is not necessarily the data last set through setData(), but can also be an earlier set data block.

See also
setData()
Since
5.81

◆ textFoundAtId

void KFind::textFoundAtId ( int id,
int matchingIndex,
int matchedLength )
signal

Connect to this signal to implement highlighting of found text during the find operation.

Use this signal if you've set your data with setData(id, text), otherwise use the textFound(text, matchingIndex, matchedLength) signal.

WARNING: If you're using the FindIncremental option, the id argument passed by this signal is not necessarily the id of the data last set through setData(), but can also be of an earlier set data block.

See also
setData()
Since
5.81

◆ validateMatch()

bool KFind::validateMatch ( const QString & text,
int index,
int matchedlength )
virtual

Virtual method, which allows applications to add extra checks for validating a candidate match.

It's only necessary to reimplement this if the find dialog extension has been used to provide additional criteria.

Parameters
textThe current text fragment
indexThe starting index where the candidate match was found
matchedlengthThe length of the candidate match
