Subject: Delphi: Bug in SEARCH.PAS
I found a bug in the sample SEARCH.PAS (used for searching memo fields.
) It won't find the last word going forward or the first word going
backward. For example, run the TEXTDEMO demo and type
this is a test
Go to the beginning and search for test. It won't find it. Go to the
end and search for "this" and it won't find it.
The solution that I found was to increment the "search count" variable
by one.
these lines used to read:
line 107
SearchCount := BufLen - SelStart - Length(SearchString);
line 115
SearchCount := SelStart;
I just changed them to add one to the search count calculation:
line 107
SearchCount := succ(BufLen - SelStart - Length(SearchString));
line 115
SearchCount := succ(SelStart);
I'll report any other bugs I find. If anyone one else finds any,
please post them. Thanks.
