SourceSearchContext.forward

Synchronous forward search. It is recommended to use the asynchronous functions instead, to not block the user interface. However, if you are sure that the @buffer is small, this function is more convenient to use.

class SourceSearchContext
bool
forward

Parameters

iter TextIter

start of search.

matchStart TextIter

return location for start of match, or %NULL.

matchEnd TextIter

return location for end of match, or %NULL.

Return: whether a match was found.
