That's odd. Maybe I'm doing something different because I didn't notice that behaviour. Try highlighting a word and press "F3" to see if the next found found re-positions to the centre of the screen.

Paul, if you need to implement Find/Replace using regular expressions, look at the CRegExp class:
https://github.com/JoseRoca/WinFBX/blob/master/docs/String%20Management/CRegExp%20Class.md

I'm not really a fan of the regex part, (always felt it took longer to get a regex right than to do the f/r by hand), but the inclusion of control character handling is enormously helpful, (allows for multi-line find/replace, etc.).

I would agree about the replace part, but the find part I really disagree.  Often I will get pages of hits on a simple search in FF, but can get it down to a substantial fraction using the regex search in Notepad++.

Put me down for RegEx search in the "Options" when/if you ever revisit your "Find In Files" dialog code.
Also, for some kind of search term highlighting in the "Search Results" tab. Even if you stay mono color.

Good evening, Paul,  "Position searches to middle of screen" places the found search string consistently on the 4th row. The middle would be 'about' the 20th row on my monitor when working with WinFBE Maximized.

Thanks Clive - I appreciate it. I've been having more programming time lately of course because of the pandemic.

Thanks, Paul. Really appreciate all your hard work on this big project.

Version 2.1.0 (April 6, 2020)

Editor:
- Added: New caching system that should speed up large project loading. Parser database saved between sessions.
- Added: New Environment Option "Enable fast project cache" in support of the newly added project caching system that was added.
- Added: New WinFBE_Suite updates will no longer overwrite existing WinFBE.ini, user_snippets.ini, and freebasic_keywords.txt files.
- Added: Environment Settings / Code Editor option called "Position searches to middle of screen" to enable/disable positioning search found text to the middle of the screen.

Thanks Paul,

I didn't know the site still existed.  The zip you attached, labeled 170 actually has 1.6 documentation, which is newer than 1.3, so I'll take it. I appreciate you finding and providing that to me.

Best regards,
David

Thanks for the feedback! I'll work through them tomorrow and get the corrections made.

You're very welcome :-)

Should the WinFBE.ini ever change then I'll simply build code in the editor to add or delete the sections from an existing WinFBE.ini. Checking the readme is always good practice however probably not so much these days as the editor has matured and stabilized...but in the early days things would change widely between releases.
