Bug ID: 1694
Summary: Backward search
Product: PCRE
Version: N/A
Hardware: x86
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Code
Assignee: ph10@???
Reporter: exim@???
CC: pcre-dev@???
We use PCRE in the vte library. Vte is the virtual-terminal library used in
gnome-terminal and other terminal emulation applications. We use PCRE to
provide regex search in terminal buffer.
In a terminal application it is desired to find search results backwards, ie,
from last result to first. Moreover, we like that functionality with
partial-matching, as the earlier parts of the buffer need to be loaded on
demand.
So, we like to have a mode to match backwards. Please advise, if this is not
needed and can be accomplished with the library already. Thanks.
