findAndSelectActiveExpression() [1/3]

QString QgsExpressionFinder::findAndSelectActiveExpression ( QgsCodeEditor *  editor, const QString &  pattern = QString()  )

static

Find the expression under the cursor in the given editor and select it.

If an expression is found, it is returned (excluding the surrounding [% %] characters) Otherwise, the selection is kept unchanged and the selected text is returned

Definition at line 63 of file qgsexpressionfinder.cpp.

findAndSelectActiveExpression() [2/3]

QString QgsExpressionFinder::findAndSelectActiveExpression ( QPlainTextEdit *  editor, const QString &  pattern = QString()  )

static

Find the expression under the cursor in the given editor and select it.

If an expression is found, it is returned (excluding the surrounding [% %] characters) Otherwise, the selection is kept unchanged and the selected text is returned

Definition at line 98 of file qgsexpressionfinder.cpp.

findAndSelectActiveExpression() [3/3]

QString QgsExpressionFinder::findAndSelectActiveExpression ( QTextEdit *  editor, const QString &  pattern = QString()  )

static

Find the expression under the cursor in the given editor and select it.

If an expression is found, it is returned (excluding the surrounding [% %] characters) Otherwise, the selection is kept unchanged and the selected text is returned

Definition at line 79 of file qgsexpressionfinder.cpp.

findExpressionAtPos()

void QgsExpressionFinder::findExpressionAtPos ( const QString &  text, int  startSelectionPos, int  endSelectionPos, int &  start, int &  end, QString &  expression, const QString &  pattern = QString()  )

static

Find an expression at the given position in the given text.

If an expression is found, start and end are set to the position of the opening and closing brakets of the expression, and expression is set to the trimmed expression (excluding the surrounding [% %] characters)

Otherwise, start and end are set to startSelectionPos and endSelectionPos and expression is set to the selected text

Optionally, a custom regex pattern can be used to find the expression. This pattern must contain a capture group to extract the expression from the match.
