✨ mtext_text ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the m17n Library corner of the manual — this is mtext_text(3m17n), and it's genuinely one of the most useful little functions here, no cap. let's get into it 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

mtext_text — find one M-text inside another one, fr fr

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int mtext_text (MText * mt1, int pos, MText * mt2)

like. three things in, one int out. iconic behaviour honestly 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so the whole vibe of this function is: locate an M-text in another. that's it, that's the job. 🎀

mtext_text() finds the first occurrence of the M-text mt2 inside the M-text mt1, and it only starts looking after the position pos. and here's the cute part — it does all of this while ignoring difference of the text properties. so the properties aren't part of the vibe check, only the actual text is. periodt. ✨

🫶 RETURN VALUE 🫶

  • if mt2 is found in mt1, mtext_text() returns the position of it first occurrence 🎉
  • otherwise it returns -1 💀 (she said no)
  • and if mt2 is empty, it returns 0 🌈
