Detailed Description

A generic implementation of the "replace" function.

Author

Detail:

This class includes prompt handling etc. Also provides some static functions which can be used to create custom behavior instead of using the class directly.

Example:

To use the class to implement a complete replace feature:

In the slot connect to the replace action, after using KReplaceDialog:

// This creates a replace-on-prompt dialog if needed.
m_replace = new KReplace(pattern, replacement, options, this);
// Connect signals to code which handles highlighting
// of found text, and on-the-fly replacement.
connect( m_replace, SIGNAL( highlight( const QString &, int, int ) ),
this, SLOT( slotHighlight( const QString &, int, int ) ) );
// Connect findNext signal - called when pressing the button in the dialog
connect( m_replace, SIGNAL( findNext() ),
this, SLOT( slotReplaceNext() ) );
// Connect replace signal - called when doing a replacement
connect( m_replace, SIGNAL( replace(const QString &, int, int, int) ),
this, SLOT( slotReplace(const QString &, int, int, int) ) );

Then initialize the variables determining the "current position" (to the cursor, if the option FromCursor is set, to the beginning of the selection if the option SelectedText is set, and to the beginning of the document otherwise). Initialize the "end of search" variables as well (end of doc or end of selection). Swap begin and end if FindBackwards. Finally, call slotReplaceNext();

void slotReplaceNext()
{
KFind::Result res = KFind::NoMatch;
while ( res == KFind::NoMatch && <position not at end> ) {
if ( m_replace->needData() )
m_replace->setData( <current text fragment> );
// Let KReplace inspect the text fragment, and display a dialog if a match is found
res = m_replace->replace();
if ( res == KFind::NoMatch ) {
<Move to the next text fragment, honoring the FindBackwards setting for the direction>
}
}
if ( res == KFind::NoMatch ) // i.e. at end
<Call either m_replace->displayFinalDialog(); delete m_replace; m_replace = 0L;
or if ( m_replace->shouldRestart() ) { reinit (w/o FromCursor) and call slotReplaceNext(); }
else { m_replace->closeReplaceNextDialog(); }>
}

Don't forget delete m_find in the destructor of your class, unless you gave it a parent widget on construction.

Definition at line 96 of file kreplace.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KReplace::KReplace ( const QString &  pattern,
const QString &  replacement,
long  options,
QWidget *  parent = 0 
)

Only use this constructor if you don't use KFindDialog, or if you use it as a modal dialog.

Definition at line 91 of file kreplace.cpp.

KReplace::KReplace ( const QString &  pattern,
const QString &  replacement,
long  options,
QWidget *  parent,
QWidget *  replaceDialog 
)

This is the recommended constructor if you also use KReplaceDialog (non-modal).

You should pass the pointer to it here, so that when a message box appears it has the right parent. Don't worry about deletion, KReplace will notice if the find dialog is closed.

Definition at line 97 of file kreplace.cpp.

KReplace::~KReplace ( )
virtual

Definition at line 103 of file kreplace.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

void KReplace::closeReplaceNextDialog ( )

Close the "replace next?" dialog.

The application should do this when the last match was hit. If the application deletes the KReplace, then "find previous" won't be possible anymore.

Definition at line 369 of file kreplace.cpp.

void KReplace::displayFinalDialog ( ) const
virtual

Displays the final dialog telling the user how many replacements were made.

Call either this or shouldRestart().

Reimplemented from KFind.

Definition at line 133 of file kreplace.cpp.

int KReplace::numReplacements ( ) const

Return the number of replacements made (i.e.

the number of times the replace signal was emitted). Can be used in a dialog box to tell the user how many replacements were made. The final dialog does so already, unless you used setDisplayFinalDialog(false).

Definition at line 108 of file kreplace.cpp.

KFind::Result KReplace::replace ( )

Walk the text fragment (e.g.

kwrite line, kspread cell) looking for matches. For each match, if prompt-on-replace is specified, emits the highlight() signal and displays the prompt-for-replace dialog before doing the replace.

Definition at line 162 of file kreplace.cpp.

int KReplace::replace ( QString &  text,
const QString &  pattern,
const QString &  replacement,
int  index,
long  options,
int *  replacedLength 
)
static

Search the given string, replaces with the given replacement string, and returns whether a match was found.

If one is, the replacement string length is also returned.

A performance optimised version of the function is provided for use with regular expressions.

Parameters
textThe string to search.
patternThe pattern to look for.
replacementThe replacement string to insert into the text.
indexThe starting index into the string.
optionsThe options to use.
replacedLengthOutput parameter, contains the length of the replaced string. Not always the same as replacement.length(), when backreferences are used.
Returns
The index at which a match was found, or -1 if no match was found.

Definition at line 234 of file kreplace.cpp.

int KReplace::replace ( QString &  text,
const QRegExp &  pattern,
const QString &  replacement,
int  index,
long  options,
int *  replacedLength 
)
static

Definition at line 250 of file kreplace.cpp.

void KReplace::replace ( const QString &  text,
int  replacementIndex,
int  replacedLength,
int  matchedLength 
)
signal

Connect to this slot to implement updating of replaced text during the replace operation.

Extra care must be taken to properly implement the "no prompt-on-replace" case. For instance highlight isn't emitted in that case (some code might rely on it), and for performance reasons one should repaint after replace() ONLY if prompt-on-replace was selected.

Parameters
textThe text, in which the replacement has already been done.
replacementIndexStarting index of the matched substring
replacedLengthLength of the replacement string
matchedLengthLength of the matched string
KDialog * KReplace::replaceNextDialog ( bool  create = false)

Return (or create) the dialog that shows the "find next?" prompt.

Usually you don't need to call this. One case where it can be useful, is when the user selects the "Find" menu item while a find operation is under way. In that case, the program may want to call setActiveWindow() on that dialog.

Definition at line 113 of file kreplace.cpp.

void KReplace::resetCounts ( )
virtual

Call this to reset the numMatches & numReplacements counts.

Can be useful if reusing the same KReplace for different operations, or when restarting from the beginning of the document.

Reimplemented from KFind.

Definition at line 322 of file kreplace.cpp.

bool KReplace::shouldRestart ( bool  forceAsking = false,
bool  showNumMatches = true 
) const
virtual

Returns true if we should restart the search from scratch.

Can ask the user, or return false (if we already searched/replaced the whole document without the PromptOnReplace option).

Parameters
forceAskingset to true if the user modified the document during the search. In that case it makes sense to restart the search again.
showNumMatchesset to true if the dialog should show the number of matches. Set to false if the application provides a "find previous" action, in which case the match count will be erroneous when hitting the end, and we could even be hitting the beginning of the document (so not all matches have even been seen).

Reimplemented from KFind.
