Whole word find string [message #27044]

Hello,

I need to find a substring in "whole word" mode.
For example, if I look for "Lui" and the string is
"my name is Luigi" the search should produce no result as I want just "Lui" and not "Luigi". The sign ",.:;-" should be considered white space.

This feature is available for example in the "Find in Files..." option in theide. I was not able to find a similar option neither in the String method nor in Bazaar.
Is it really not available or am I blind?

Thanks,
Luigi

EDIT: it seems the code I need could be in
bool CodeEditor::Find(bool back, const wchar *text, bool wholeword, bool ignorecase, bool wildcards, bool block)

Hello,

I need to find a substring in "whole word" mode.

It seems the RegExp library does the job.
Something like this:

String p = "(\\b" + pattern + "\\b)";
RegExp r0(p);
if( r0.Match( mystring ) ) { ... }

is able to find the string pattern in whole word mode. The trick was to set the \\b at the begin and at the end of the wanted string.
