Find text in console

Just brilliant.

@cvp Hi, I haven't tried it yet your code but it is impressive! Thank you :-)
I sometimes feel that there is a possibility to do something with programming, but every time I see that one of you programmers really manages to do it, I am fascinated.
I want to try your code by saving it in the StatusBarMenu (by JonB) as an action to run with the little buttons of it. So my dream is to associate your script to a user key of StatusBarMenu in order to enable/disable the search text function.
So do you know if it is possible to disable your search function (with a click) if user wants to return to use the console to run python commands instead of to search text?Thank you very much

@Matteo It is not needed. Even if you activate the search, the normal use of the console command still works by pressing enter. The search is only done if you tap the 🔍 icon.

@mikael Hi, I still use Pythonista version 3.1 (I have an old iphone with ios 10.3.3) and it is a great software, I find it very exciting to think that user can even customize the interface of this application as you wish, if knows how to do it ;-)
Pythonista is Great!

Full agree. I hope you have seen my previous post because we wrote at the same time
-
@cvp Yes! you are right, sorry, two buttons on console line! You created a second button at left of input line, Thank you again!
-
-
@cvp no no, I badly explained myself sorry, I meant I see your button search at left, at right I see the built-in recall command icons and the execute command is the return key of keyboard, yes sorry. I'm excited...

@Matteo 👍

Hi @cvp, thanks again for your code, it helps me a lot! I tried to change it in order to clear highlighting of the text before each touch of the "Find" button, because if I search different words, the console becomes too colored and I can't understand where the last word is selected.
If you want and have time, can you show me how to change your code in order to remove all highlighting before each touch of your "Find" user key?
Thanks
Bye -
@Matteo that is strange, because when you tap the find button, I remove all colored buttons before to create new ones, thus no overlap of multiple searches.
Did you change something?
I just retry and there is no problem...Could you post your code if not exactly mine

@cvp Hi thanks for reply, with Pythonista I use (v.3.1 301016) on ios 10.3.3 I have different behavior from you , that is when I touch Find key , the previous highligtings can't disappear (text become red and more red...). Maybe it is due to different objc implementation of new version of Pythonista.
I will try again , if I will notice some different behavior I will let you know.
Thank you
Regards -
@Matteo ok. I use Pythonista last beta on iOS 13.3.
-
@cvp Hi, sorry I'm feel very unskilled, no objc problem, I must use Python3, no Python2...
Problem solved!
Sorry I ask you :when you touch built-in key Clear in console do you have the clear of full console content and the color red of last highligthed text?
Thanks
-
@Matteo I thought about this problem of python 2 or 3 overnight and I wanted to check this morning because I "remove SUIButton_PY3 objects" ... Great that you found it

You're right, that's a problem. My script does not know when you tap the clear button thus it is not able to also clear the couloured buttons. I'll try to find something but not promised
temporarily, you would have to clear manually the console line then tap the 🔍 button, colorful buttons will be removed
Edit: if you have cleared the console, tap only the 🔍 button, even without clearing the search text, all highlighted words will disappear
-
@cvp You are right, to clear all I can use your Search button with empty text, perfect.
Many thanks for your help!
Regards
-
@Matteo And, if you tap the standard clear button, you can, after, tap the search button even without clearing the searched text. As the console is cleared, there is no occurrence to find, thus all highlighted will be removed
-
@Matteo small update if you want a case insensitive search
for m in re.finditer('(?i)'+txt, t):
