Searching
for a pattern in a specified project or file is now available, with the TextSearcher utility.
For
example - searching for variables pattern in the current file or project:
final TextSearcher searcher = TextSearcherFactory.createSearcher(project or file, "\$[a-zA-Z_]*");
searcher.search(new NullProgressMonitor() / null);
final List results = searcher.getResults();
1) The result list elements are of type FileMatch (holds
IFile, offset and length).
2) There are many factories that construct the
search utility – available through TextSearcherFactory
3) The search pattern should follow the pattern
class rules: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html
so never let the user search directly with the utility.
4) The implementation is based on org.eclipse.search plug-in.
