Re: help for not "Match all word only" in search feature

[Biswapesh Chattopadhyay <biswapesh_chatterjee tcscal co in>]

I recently wrote (with help from Jean-Noel) a pretty complete and
standalone implementation of search/replace in Anjuta CVS (ANJUTA_1_0_0
branch) (one source and one header file). It supports Perl regex search,
backreferences in replace, match whole word/word start/word end/complete
line, backward search, multi-file regex search/replace, specifying file
name patterns for match/ignore files and directories - the whole
shebang, and it has a cool libglade-base GUI. Feel free to use it in
whatever project you want. It is in src/search-replace.[ch]

If you want to have a feel for it, you can download a CVS tarball
(ANJUTA_1_0_0 branch) from anjuta.org/cvs. You'll need GNOME 1.x 
libraries to build it currently.

Hope this helps.

Rgds,
Biswa.
