textdtpatch                                                        textdtpatch

    NAME
        textdtpatch - patches the text.datatype to support search method

    VERSION
        39.3

    TEMPLATE
        none

    REQUIREMENT
        reqtools.library V38, OS3.0 or higher

    FUNCTION
        This program patches the text.datatype, so that the new one can
        search for a string. Now it can search by four different ways :
        1. case sensetive match like strncmp(). Button "Case".
        2. case insensetive match like Strnicmp(). Button "NoCase".
        3. case sensetive pattern using MatchPattern(). Button "Pattern".
        4. case insensetive pattern  using MatchPatternNoCase().
           Button "PatternNoCase".
        The following key commands are supported :

        Return (STM_ACTIVATE_FIELD) - opens a reqtools requester to enter
            the search string and searches for that if confirmed.

        Tab (STM_NEXT_FIELD) , '>' (STM_BROWSE_NEXT) searches for the next
            occurrence of the string.

        Shift-Tab (STM_PREV_FIELD) , '<' (STM_BROWSE_PREV) searches for the
            previous occurrence of the string.

    INSTALLATION
        1. Copy textdtpatch to your c: or anywhere you like.
        2. Add in your S:User-Startup following line:
           run >nil: c:textdtpatch
        3. To terminate textdtpatch send a break (Ctrl-C).

    THANKS
        have to go to Roland 'Gizzy' Mainz for his markabletextdtclass

    NOTE
        This peace of software is no longer in development. I only maked
        it worked with the markabletextdtclass patch. If you want to
        search within text document look at my HyperText-Datatype-System.
