Method

GtkSourceSearchContextreplace_all

Declaration [src]

guint
gtk_source_search_context_replace_all (
  GtkSourceSearchContext* search,
  const gchar* replace,
  gint replace_length,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Replaces all search matches by another text.

It is a synchronous function, so it can block the user interface.

For a regular expression replacement, you can check if replace is valid by calling g_regex_check_replacement(). The replace text can contain backreferences.

Parameters

replace

Type: const gchar*

The replacement text.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
replace_length

Type: gint

The length of replace in bytes, or -1.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.
If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.
The argument will left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.
In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: guint

The number of replaced matches.
