SYNOPSIS

   #include <Xm/Xm.h>
   Boolean XmTextFindString(

   XmTextPosition start,
   char *string,
   XmTextDirection direction,
   XmTextPosition *position);

DESCRIPTION

   XmTextFindString 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 position.  If the match string begins at  the  current
   position, this routine returns the current position.

   widget    Specifies the Text widget ID.

   start     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).

   string    Specifies the search string.

   direction Indicates the search direction. It is relative to the primary
             direction of the text. The possible values are

             XmTEXT_FORWARD
                       The  search  proceeds  toward  the  end of the text
                       buffer.

             XmTEXT_BACKWARD
                       The search proceeds toward  the  beginning  of  the
                       text buffer.

   position  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.
