Gtk2::S...w2::Iter(3)

💖 Gtk2::SourceView2::Iter 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Gtk2::SourceView2::Iter — she's a lil class from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe, and she is literally just here to do search things inside a Gtk2::SourceView2 buffer. that's it. that's her whole job. and she eats. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Gtk2::SourceView2::Iter — no cap, that's the name, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

🌸 METHODS 🌸

(match_start, match_end) = Gtk2::SourceView2::Iter->backward_search ($iter, $str, $flags, $limit=NULL)

(match_start, match_end) = Gtk2::SourceView2::Iter->backward_search ($iter, $str, $flags, $limit=NULL)

bestie she looks backwards 🔙 and hands you back a pair — match_start and match_end. iconic behaviour honestly.

• $iter — a Gtk2::TextIter, the lil starting point she searches from 💅
• $str — a string, the thing you're hunting for 🔍
• $flags — a Gtk2::SourceView2::SearchFlags, aka your search settings ⚙️

also she takes a $limit=NULL which defaults to NULL, so if you don't pass one, she just does her thing. 🫶

Gtk2::SourceView2::Iter->forward_search ($iter, $str, $flags)

Gtk2::SourceView2::Iter->forward_search ($iter, $str, $flags)

and this one goes forward ➡️ because sometimes you're looking ahead, main character energy, eyes on the future. ✨

• $iter — a Gtk2::TextIter 🌸
• $str — a string 🌸
• $flags — a Gtk2::SourceView2::SearchFlags 🌸
