Public Function FindInText (pszFind As String, pszReplace As String, grfFindOptions As UInteger, grfBufferFlags As UInteger, cchText As UInteger, pchText As UShort(), ByRef piFound As UInteger, ByRef pcchFound As UInteger, ByRef pbstrReplaceText As String, ByRef pfFound As Integer) As Integer

Parameters

pszFind: String

[in] Text pattern to find.

pszReplace: String

[in] Replacement text pattern.

grfFindOptions: UInt32

[in] Search options. Values are taken from the __VSFINDOPTIONS enumeration.

grfBufferFlags: UInt32

[in] Flag indicating that pchText begins or ends a line. Values are taken from the __VSFINDBUFFERFLAGS enumeration.

cchText: UInt32

[in] Size of text, in Unicode characters.

pchText: UInt16[]

[in, size_is(cchText)] Text buffer to search for pszFind.

piFound: UInt32

[out] Index in buffer pointing to match.

pcchFound: UInt32

[out] Length of match found.

pbstrReplaceText: String

[out] Computed replacement text, if necessary.

pfFound: Int32

[out, retval] true if pattern was found.

Returns

Int32

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

COM Signature

From textfind.idl:

HRESULT IVsFindHelper::FindInText(  
   [in] LPCOLESTR pszFind,  
   [in] LPCOLESTR pszReplace,  
   [in] VSFINDOPTIONS grfFindOptions,  
   [in] VSFINDBUFFERFLAGS grfBufferFlags,  
   [in] ULONG cchText,  
   [in,size_is(cchText)] LPCOLESTR pchText,  
   [out] ULONG * piFound,  
   [out] ULONG * pcchFound, [out] BSTR * pbstrReplaceText  
);

An IVsFindHelper interface pointer is passed to Find and Replace. If you want to support wildcards, regular expressions, or whole words, use FindInText to do your string matching so that all the options and behavior work consistently with the Visual Studio editor.

Computed replacement text is returned in pbstrReplaceText.

Computed replacement text is necessary in the following conditions:

FR_RegExpr, FR_Replace, options are specified and tags or character escapes appear in pszReplace.
FR_KeepCase option is specified.
