GetFoundText(n) fails after StrFind()

[Carlo Hogeveen]

It surprised me that GetFoundText(tag_number) returned random content after a successful StrFind() with tags.
See the demo macro below.

Carlo


proc Main()
if StrFind('a{.}c{.}e', 'abcde', 'x')
Warn('Found "', GetFoundText(1), '" and "', GetFoundText(2), '".')
endif
PurgeMacro(CurrMacroFilename())
end Main

StrFind() runs in the same context as lFind().
So what you are seeing is the same behavior you would get if you did
an lFind() and then a GetFoundText().
I think I can pretty easily change StrFind() to run in the same
context as a normal Find(), if that seems to make more sense.
Let me know what you think.

Sammy,

I interpret your argument as that we cannot do a GetFoundText() after StrFind(), because StrFind() works like lFind() instead of Find().
But as the new demo macro below demonstrates, we can also successfully do a GetFoundText() after lFind().

Carlo


proc Main()

NewFile()
InsertText('abcdef')
BegFile()
if lFind('a{.}c{.}e', 'ix')
Warn('lFind() test found "', GetFoundText(1), '" and "', GetFoundText(2), '".')
endif
AbandonFile()

if StrFind('a{.}c{.}e', 'abcde', 'ix')
Warn('StrFind() test found "', GetFoundText(1), '" and "', GetFoundText(2), '".')
endif

PurgeMacro(CurrMacroFilename())
end Main

With the help of GetFoundText, StrFind is not mentioned.

Indeed, completely unknown (read.me, help, ...) that tags {} and GetFoundText() could be used also with StrFind().

My first reply was garbage - sorry about that.
Since strfind() works on a string, I did not think about
GetFoundText() working with the same.
So currently, GetFoundText() is not aware of strfind().
I can take a look and see if it is possible to implement that functionality.

I have fixed this.
I'll add a check to sanity1, but it'll need plenty of testing!
