Need Help Finding with Regexp

I do this whole find thing a little bit differently. I will try to post some code later, but I basically do this:

1. Define a regular expression object for what I want to find. The regular expression has to have the g (global) flag set.
2. Loop through each paragraph.
3. For each paragraph, get the text of the paragraph.
4. Apply the regular express to the text and get a list of matches.
5. If there are any matches, I set my doc.TextSelection at the beginning of the paragraph and loop backwards through the matches.
6. For each match, I use the find params and the matched value to return the TextRange of the found text to get the text and then do what I need to with it.

It sounds complicated, but I use functions to make it all work, and I am happy with the results.

Hi Fightergator,

Wildcard and RegEx are tro differt things. See https://www.daube.ch/docu/files/FMFindRepl.pdf, pages 17 and 20ff.

Maybe you should first define the propident for TextString, then the dedail, like in the flollowing snippet. But I think, the problem lies in the defintion of the propval for the customisation flags.

var findParams, qFlags, oPropVal1, oPropVal2, oPropVal3, oPropVal4, sSearch;

findParams = new PropVals();
oPropVal1 = new PropVal() ; 
// --- NoWrap stops at the iniital find start 
oPropVal1.propIdent.num = Constants.FS_FindWrap ;
oPropVal1.propVal.valType = Constants.FT_Integer;
oPropVal1.propVal.ival = 0 ;   // no wrap
findParams.push(oPropVal1);

oPropVal2 = new PropVal() ;
oPropVal2.propIdent.num = Constants.FS_FindText;
oPropVal2.propVal.valType = Constants.FT_String;
oPropVal2.propVal.sval = sSearch;
findParams.push(oPropVal2);

oPropVal3 = new PropVal() ;
oPropVal3.propIdent.num = Constants.FS_FindCustomizationFlags ;
oPropVal3.propVal.valType = Constants.FT_Integer;
qFlags = 0;
qFlags = qFlags | Constants.FF_FIND_USE_WILDCARDS;  // 0x04
oPropVal3.propVal.ival = qFlags;
findParams.push(oPropVal3);
