Look at using QRegExp.

[spirit]

doesn't QString::contains work for you?

[rajesh]

QString::contains dont check "whole word " condition.

QString::contains dont check "whole word " condition.

QRegExp does, take a look.

I didn't get any examples of QRegEdit to solve my problem.
how to use
bool QRegExp::exactMatch ( const QString & str ) const

if I use QRegExp then if user uncheck regularExp box then how to use QRegExp.
see the attach dialog.



my problem is solved with following code:

QTextDocument document(line);
cursor = regularExp ? document.find(findText, cursor, myFlags):document.find(text, cursor, myFlags);

QTextDocument document(line);
cursor = regularExp ? document.find(findText, cursor, myFlags):document.find(text, cursor, myFlags);

QRegExp with "\b"+searchStr+"\b" as pattern should do the trick. \b searches for word boundaries.
