19 * @class KReplace kreplace.h <KReplace>
20 *
21 * @brief A generic implementation of the "replace" function.
22 *
23 * @author S.R.Haque <srhaque@iee.org>, David Faure <faure@kde.org>
24 *
25 * \b Detail:
26 *
27 * This class includes prompt handling etc. Also provides some
28 * static functions which can be used to create custom behavior
29 * instead of using the class directly.
30 *
31 * \b Example:
32 *
33 * To use the class to implement a complete replace feature:
34 *
35 * In the slot connect to the replace action, after using KReplaceDialog:
36 * \code
37 *
38 * // This creates a replace-on-prompt dialog if needed.
39 * m_replace = new KReplace(pattern, replacement, options, this);
40 *
41 * // Connect signals to code which handles highlighting of found text, and
42 * // on-the-fly replacement.
43 * connect(m_replace, &KFind::textFound, this, [this](const QString &text, int matchingIndex, int matchedLength) {
44 * slotHighlight(text, matchingIndex, matchedLength);
45 * });
46 * // Connect findNext signal - called when pressing the button in the dialog
47 * connect( m_replace, SIGNAL( findNext() ),
48 * this, SLOT( slotReplaceNext() ) );
49 * // Connect to the textReplaced() signal - emitted when a replacement is done
50 * connect( m_replace, &KReplace::textReplaced, this, [this](const QString &text, int replacementIndex, int replacedLength, int matchedLength) {
51 * slotReplace(text, replacementIndex, replacedLength, matchedLength);
52 * });
53 * \endcode
54 * Then initialize the variables determining the "current position"
55 * (to the cursor, if the option FromCursor is set,
56 * to the beginning of the selection if the option SelectedText is set,
57 * and to the beginning of the document otherwise).
58 * Initialize the "end of search" variables as well (end of doc or end of selection).
59 * Swap begin and end if FindBackwards.
60 * Finally, call slotReplaceNext();
61 *
62 * \code
63 * void slotReplaceNext()
64 * {
65 * KFind::Result res = KFind::NoMatch;
66 * while ( res == KFind::NoMatch && <position not at end> ) {
67 * if ( m_replace->needData() )
68 * m_replace->setData( <current text fragment> );
69 *
70 * // Let KReplace inspect the text fragment, and display a dialog if a match is found
71 * res = m_replace->replace();
72 *
73 * if ( res == KFind::NoMatch ) {
74 * <Move to the next text fragment, honoring the FindBackwards setting for the direction>
75 * }
76 * }
77 *
78 * if ( res == KFind::NoMatch ) // i.e. at end
79 * <Call either m_replace->displayFinalDialog(); delete m_replace; m_replace = nullptr;
80 * or if ( m_replace->shouldRestart() ) { reinit (w/o FromCursor) and call slotReplaceNext(); }
81 * else { m_replace->closeReplaceNextDialog(); }>
82 * }
83 * \endcode
84 *
85 * Don't forget delete m_find in the destructor of your class,
86 * unless you gave it a parent widget on construction.
87 *
