.nf
#include <Xm/Xm\&.h>
\fBBoolean \fBXmTextFindString\fP\fR(
\fBWidget \fBwidget\fR\fR,

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBXmTextFindString\fP locates the beginning position of a specified
text string\&. This routine searches forward or backward for the first
occurrence of the string starting from the given start position\&.
If it finds a match, the function
returns the position of the first character of the string in \fIposition\fP\&.
If the match string begins at the current position, this routine returns the current position\&.
.IP "\fIwidget\fP" 10
Specifies the Text widget ID\&.
.IP "\fIstart\fP" 10
Specifies the character position from which the search proceeds\&. This
is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the text
buffer\&. The first character position is 0 (zero)\&.
.IP "\fIstring\fP" 10
Specifies the search string\&.
.IP "\fIdirection\fP" 10
Indicates the search direction\&. It is relative to the primary
direction of the text\&. The possible values are
.RS
.IP "\fBXmTEXT_FORWARD\fP" 10
The search proceeds toward the end of the text buffer\&.
.IP "\fBXmTEXT_BACKWARD\fP" 10
The search proceeds toward the beginning of the text buffer\&.
.RE
.IP "\fIposition\fP" 10
Specifies the pointer in which the first character position
of the string match is returned\&. This is an integer number
of characters from the beginning of the buffer\&. The first
character position is 0 (zero)\&. If the function returns False,
this value is undefined\&.

.SH "RETURN"
.PP
Returns True if a string match is found; otherwise, returns False\&.
