Function
GtkSourceutils_escape_search_text
Declaration [src]
gchar*
gtk_source_utils_escape_search_text (
const gchar* text
)
Description [src]
Use this function to escape the following characters: \n, \r, \t and \.
For a regular expression search, use g_regex_escape_string() instead.
One possible use case is to take the GtkTextBuffer‘s selection and put it in a
search entry. The selection can contain tabulations, newlines, etc. So it’s
better to escape those special characters to better fit in the search entry.
