TSynEditMarkupHighlightAllMulti / multiline

[BubikolRamios]

suppose I have this in synedit, i.e. multiline:

abc abc
abc

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. var
2.   YourMarkup:TSynEditMarkupHighlightAllMulti;        
3. begin
4.   YourMarkup := TSynEditMarkupHighlightAllMulti.create(SynEdit1);
5.   SynEdit1.MarkupManager.AddMarkUp(YourMarkup);    
6.   YourMarkup.AddSearchTerm('abc abcabc');
7.  

Should paint entire text (my desire), does not.

Any suggestion how to get painted all, maybe changing TSynEditMarkupHighlightAllMulti to something else ?

tested (does not work):

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. YourMarkup.AddSearchTerm('abc abc' + chr(13) + chr(10) + 'abc');    
2.

The TSynEditMarkupHighlightAllMulti does not support multi-line.

afaik only the TSynEditMarkupHighlightAll does. (But it accepts only one search term)

[BubikolRamios]

hmm, should that work ? it does not.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. var
2.   YourMarkup:TSynEditMarkupHighlightAll;
3.   options: TSynSearchOptions;
4. begin  
5.  
6.  
7.   YourMarkup := TSynEditMarkupHighlightAll.create(SynEdit1);
8.  
9.   SynEdit..MarkupManager.AddMarkUp(YourMarkup);
10.  
11.   YourMarkup.SearchString:='foo';
12.   YourMarkup.MarkupInfo.Background := ATStringProc_HtmlColor.SHtmlColorToColor('#fff000');
13.   YourMarkup.MarkupInfo.Foreground := clBlack;
14.   YourMarkup.MarkupInfo.Style := [fsUnderline];
15.  
16.   options := [];
17.   Include(options,ssoRegExprMultiLine);
18.   Include(options,ssoFindContinue);
19.   YourMarkup.SearchOptions := options;
20.  
21.

A reg-exp does not ignore line breaks.
It matches them with \r and \n.

I haven't tested, but something like

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. YourMarkup.SearchString:='f[\r\n]*o[\r\n]*o';

[BubikolRamios]

for some reason \r\n does not work i.e. no coloring at all

f
o

This has same/some effect, but coloring is strange

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. YourMarkup.SearchString:='f'+ sLineBreak + 'o';
2. YourMarkup.SearchString:='f'+ #13#10 + 'o';
3.  

Will open new thread, as I'm going to drop idea of built in highlighters.
