NAME

Padre::Search - The Padre Search API

SYNOPSIS

# Create the search object
my $search = Padre::Search->new(
    find_term => 'foo',
);

# Execute the search on the current editor
$search->search_next(Padre::Current->editor);

DESCRIPTION

This is the Padre Search API. It allows the creation of abstract search object that can independently search and/or replace in an editor object.

METHODS

matches

my ($first_char, $last_char, @all) = $search->matches(
    text      => $search_text,
    regex     => $search_regexp,
    from      => $from,
    to        => $to,
    backwards => $reverse,
);

Parameters:

* The text in which we need to search

* The regular expression

* The offset within the text where we the last match started so the next forward match must start after this.

* The offset within the text where we the last match ended so the next backward match must end before this.

* backward bit (1 = search backward, 0 = search forward)
