SEARCH_QUIETLY Looks for the sequence of characters that you specify and returns a range containing those characters. Unlike the SEARCH built-in, SEARCH_QUIETLY does not signal an error if no match is found. Syntax [range := ] SEARCH_QUIETLY ({string | pattern | keyword1} ,keyword2 [{,keyword3 | ,integer} [,buffer | ,range]] Parameters string The string you want to match. pattern The pattern you want to match. keyword1 One of the following keywords: ANCHOR, LINE_BEGIN, LINE_END, PAGE_BREAK, REMAIN, UNANCHOR. keyword2 One of the following keywords: FORWARD -- Specifies a search in the forward direction. REVERSE -- Specifies a search in the reverse direction. keyword3 One of the following keywords: EXACT -- Specifies that the search must match case and diacritical information exactly. NO_EXACT -- Makes the search insensitive to case and diacritical marks. This keyword is optional. integer An integer specifying exactly what characteristics the SEARCH built-in is to match. Rather than specifying the integers directly, you should use the following pre-defined constants: TPU$K_SEARCH_CASE -- Specifies a search that is sensitive to case but may not be insensitive to diacritical markings. TPU$K_SEARCH_DIACRITICAL -- Specifies a search that is sensitive to diacritical markings but may not be insensitive to case. You can perform Boolean operations to combine these constants. For example: tpu$k_search_diacritical OR tpu$k_search_case buffer The buffer in which to search. The search will start at the beginning of the buffer if a forward search, or the end of the buffer if a reverse search. If the fourth parameter is not specified, SEARCH operates on the current buffer, starting at the current editing point range The range in which to search. The search will start at the beginning of the range if a forward search, or at the end of the range if a reverse search. If the fourth parameter is not specified, SEARCH operates on the current buffer. Examples 1. The following statement causes TPU to search the current buffer for the string 'Reflections of MONET'. If the search is successful, the location of the matched characters is stored in the range 'user_range'. The search would match the characters regardless of their case since NO_EXACT is specified. user_range := SEARCH_QUIETLY ("Reflections of MONET", FORWARD, NO_EXACT); 2. The following procedure searches for the word "Chapter" appearing at the beginning of a line. If the word is found, the procedure puts the cursor at the beginning of the word. Otherwise, it puts a message in the message buffer. PROCEDURE user_find_chap LOCAL chap, found_range; ON_ERROR IF error = TPU$_STRNOTFOUND THEN MESSAGE ("Chapter not found."); ELSE MESSAGE (MESSAGE_TEXT (error)); ENDIF; ENDON_ERROR; chap := LINE_BEGIN & "Chapter"; found_range := SEARCH_QUIETLY (chap, FORWARD, NO_EXACT); IF found_range <> 0 THEN POSITION (found_range); ENDIF; ENDPROCEDURE;
