EE_FINDW

Searches a Unicode string. This message is obsolete. The newer plug-in should use the EE_FIND_REPLACE message instead. You can send this message explicitly or by using the Editor_FindW inline function.

EE_FINDW
wParam = (WPARAM) (UINT) nFlags;
lParam = (LPARAM) (LPCWSTR) szFind;

Parameters

nFlags

You can specify a combination of the following values.

Value	Meaning
FLAG_FIND_AROUND	Moves to start/end of the text.
FLAG_FIND_BOOKMARK	Sets bookmarks on lines where the string is matched.
FLAG_FIND_CASE	Matches cases.
FLAG_FIND_COUNT	Counts the occurrences of the matched string.
FLAG_FIND_EMBEDDED_NL	Matches embedded newlines in CSV documents and does not match other newlines.
FLAG_FIND_ESCAPE	Uses escape sequences.
FLAG_FIND_EXTRACT	Extracts matched lines to a new document.
FLAG_FIND_NEXT	Searches the string downward from the cursor position. If this flag is not set, searches the string upward.
FLAG_FIND_NO_PROMPT	Suppresses displaying a dialog box even if no string is found.
FLAG_FIND_ONLY_WORD	Searches only words.
FLAG_FIND_OPEN_DOC	Searches all open documents in the same frame window.
FLAG_FIND_REG_EXP	Uses a regular expression.
FLAG_FIND_SAVE_HISTORY	Saves the searched string for repeated search.

Return Values

Returns 1 if the searched string is found, or 0 if not found. However, if the FLAG_FIND_COUNT, FLAG_FIND_BOOKMARK, FLAG_FIND_SELECT_ALL, or FLAG_FIND_EXTRACT flag is specified, the return value is the number of the occurrences of the matched string in the document. Nevertheless, if the searched string is not found from the cursor position toward the specified direction, the return value is 0 even if the matched string is found in the rest of the document.
