I have a TextArea
which contains a document. I implemented a DocumentListener
in order to highlight words that matches in the TextField
.
What this code does is highlight I single word instead of all matches. i.e: if i try to search the word "move" in the TextArea
, & there're repeated 3 times that word, this code just highlight the first one and no the rest, I need to highlight all words that matches!
public void search() throws BadLocationException //This method makes all logic for highLigh from jtextField into Document(TextArea)
{
highLighter.removeAllHighlights();
String s = textField.getText();
if(s.length() <= 0)
{
labelMessage("Nothing to search for..");
return; //go out from this "if statement!".
}
String content = textArea.getText();
int index = content.indexOf(s, 0); //"s" = the whole document, 0 = means that was found(match) or -1 if no match(no found is return -1)
if(index >= 0) //match found
{
int end = index + s.length();
highLighter.addHighlight(index, end, highlighterPainter);
textArea.setCaretPosition(end);
textField.setBackground(entryBgColor);
labelMessage("'" + s + "' found. Press ESC to end search");
}
}
void labelMessage(String msm)
{
statusLabel.setText(msm);
}
@Override
public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent e)
{
try
{
search();
} catch (BadLocationException e1)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
Try below code if it help you,
String content = textArea.getText();
while(content.lastIndexOf(s) >= 0)
{
int index = content.lastIndexOf(s);
int end = index + s.length;
highLighter.addHighlight(index, end, highlighterPainter);
textArea.setCaretPosition(end);
textField.setBackground(entryBgColor);
labelMessage("'" + s + "' found. Press ESC to end search");
content = content.substring(0, index - 1);
}
