folks,
Can anyone please give me a hint as to how I will solve this problem :
I am developing an editor. It has the ability to "search" for a given
regular expression. Now, I would like to add the ability to search
backwards from a given position. I guess it is really not backwards but
the last occurance of the expression.
Perhaps I can reverse the string, reverse the regex and then compile the
regexp and search. Will this be valid?
Any and all hints would be welcome.
regards
srini
