XmTextFindString(3)	   Library Functions Manual	   XmTextFindString(3)

NAME
       XmTextFindString	 --  A Text function that finds	the beginning position
       of a text string

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<Xm/Xm.h>
       Boolean XmTextFindString(
       Widget widget,
       XmTextPosition start,
       char *string,
       XmTextDirection direction,
       XmTextPosition *position);

DESCRIPTION
       XmTextFindString	locates	the beginning position	of  a  specified  text
       string.	This routine searches forward or backward for the first	occur-
       rence of	the string starting from the  given  start  position.	If  it
       finds a match, the function returns the position	of the first character
       of  the	string in position.  If	the match string begins	at the current
       position, this routine returns the current position.

       widget	 Specifies the Text widget ID.

       start	 Specifies the character position from which the  search  pro-
		 ceeds.	 This  is an integer number of characters from the be-
		 ginning of the	text buffer. The first character position is 0
		 (zero).

       string	 Specifies the search string.

       direction Indicates the search direction. It is relative	to the primary
		 direction of the text.	The possible values are

		 XmTEXT_FORWARD
			   The search proceeds toward  the  end	 of  the  text
			   buffer.

		 XmTEXT_BACKWARD
			   The	search	proceeds  toward  the beginning	of the
			   text	buffer.

       position	 Specifies the pointer in which	the first  character  position
		 of the	string match is	returned. This is an integer number of
		 characters  from the beginning	of the buffer. The first char-
		 acter position	is 0 (zero). If	the  function  returns	False,
		 this value is undefined.

       Text(3).

RETURN
       Returns True if a string	match is found;	otherwise, returns False.
