Hi,

I have a RichEdit file in which I place markers programatically.

Later on, I need to find and replace these by "\XH"

I am using the code below but if I use RichEdit3->SelText="\XH" the result will be replacing my mark by XH and the back slash is gone.
If I use RichEdit3->SelText="\\XH" the result will be \\XH double back slash.
I need to replace the mark by SINGLE backslash with XH like this \XH

How can I fix the code to do so?
Thanks

Freddy Mas

int ToEndALL;
int FoundAtALL;
String KeywordALL;

ToEndALL = RichEdit3->Text.Length();
FoundAtALL = RichEdit3->FindText("", 0, ToEndALL, TSearchTypes()<< stMatchCase);
if (FoundAtALL != -1)
{
RichEdit3->SelStart = FoundAtALL;
KeywordALL="";
RichEdit3->SelLength=KeywordALL.Length();
RichEdit3->SelText="\\XH";
}

Hi freddy,

I'd suggest using the 'Lines' property of TRichEdit.

'Lines' is a pointer to TStrings. You can then use
the 'Text' property of TStrings. 'Text' will contain
text strings separated by carriage return, line feed
pairs. Just loop through the data copying the source
data to a destination data buffer. When ever you
encounter an instance of the '' string replace
it with '\XH'.

Or you could use the 'Strings' property of TStrings.
'Strings' is an array of AnsiStrings you could read
these with something like:

for( int i = 0; i < RichEdit3->Lines->GetCount; i++)
{
strbuf = RichEdit3->Lines->Strings[i].c_str();

// Put some code here for locating ''
// in 'strbuf' and replacing it with '\XH'.
// If you find '' in the string replace it with
// '\XH' and then do this:

RichEdit3->Lines->Delete(i);

AnsiString SBUF = strbuf;

RichEdit3->Lines->Insert( i, SBUF);
}

(BTW, there's probably a better way if you
can get Remy's attention, but these methods will
work... B)

HTH,

Bruce

Hi freddy,

Ok, sorry about this I have a correction of
the code I presented:

It would be best to replace:

strbuf = RichEdit3->Lines->Strings[i].c_str();

With something like:

strcpy( strbuf, RichEdit3->Lines->Strings[i].c_str());

Sorry about that,

Bruce

Hello freddy,

An extremely simple way is to do this:

AnsiString newText=StringReplace(RichEdit3->Lines->Text,"","\XH",TReplaceFlags()<<rfReplaceAll);

or, if you want the result set to still be contained in separate lines:

TStringList *newLines=new TStringList;
newLines->Text=StringReplace(RichEdit3->Lines->Text,"","\XH",TReplaceFlags()<<rfReplaceAll);
