Remarks

This method performs a textual, case-insensitive comparison by using regular expressions. For more information, see the match function. Case-insensitivity can be turned off by using the ignoreCase method. Regular expressions can be turned off by using the regularExpressions method.

The following example searches the TextBuffer object for all occurrences of a specified string and prints the position at which the match is found.

int pos; 
TextBuffer textBuffer; 
textBuffer = new TextBuffer(); 
textBuffer.setText("ABC DEF GHI JKL MNO ABC ABC"); 
pos = 0; 
while (textBuffer.find("ABC",pos)) 
{ 
    print "String found at position: ", textBuffer.matchPos(); 
    pause; 
    pos = textBuffer.matchPos()+1; 
}
