Search for a text in a range of inter-character positions

_GUICtrlRichEdit_FindTextInRange ( $hWnd, $sText [, $iStart = 0 [, $iEnd = -1 [, $bMatchCase = False [, $bWholeWord = False [, $iBehavior = 0]]]]] )
| $hWnd | Handle to the control |
| $sText | Text to find |
| $iStart | [optional] Starting inter-character position of search Default: beginning of control |
| $iEnd | [optional] Ending inter-character position of search Default: end of control |
| $bMatchCase | [optional] Search is case-sensitive Default: case-insensitive |
| $bWholeWord | [optional] Search only for text as a whole word Default: partial or full word |
| $iBehavior | [optional] Any BitOR combination of $FR_MATCHALEFHAMZA, $FR_MATCHDIAC and $FR_MATCHKASHIDA Default: 0 |
| Success: | an $Array[2] containing values: If target string found, range of inter-character positions containing the matching text, e.g. [45, 52] If not found, [-1, -1] |
| Failure: | sets the @error flag to non-zero. |
| @error: | 101 - $hWnd is not a handle 102 - $sText = "" 103 - $iStart is neither a positive number nor zero nor -1 104 - $iEnd is neither a positive number nor zero nor -1 105 - $bMatchCase must be True or False 106 - $bWholeWord must be True or False 1071 - $iBehavior is not a number 1072 - $iBehavior is invalid |
The inter-character position at the beginning of the control is 0.
The default character range, 0 to -1, searches the whole text downwwards.
Setting $iEnd to -1 searches down to the end of the control
Setting $iStart to -1 searches up to the start of the control
