Search text in QPlainTextEdit

[PythonQTMarlem]

hello,

I'm developing a text editor with Python and Qt.
now i want to search for text in a QPlainTextEdit ('').
How do you program something like that?

i found this:
https://doc.qt.io/archives/4.6/uitools-textfinder.html

but I can't rewrite it in Python. Can someone help please?

If you want to copy that, you simply have to go through it line-by-line and translate the C++ into Python. Personally I don't think that's difficult, but your mileage may vary.

This is just https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qplaintextedit.html#find. That will exist in PySide2/PyQt5.

hi,

i try. but now i don't know how to convert this in python:

QTextCursor highlightCursor(document);
QTextCursor cursor(document);

I would appreciate a suggestion.

solution:

highlightCursor = QTextCursor(self.document)
cursor = QTextCursor(document)
