Is there a way to use Regex in search?

[Bekir]

Hello,

I want to use Regex in search term. PDF files have some accented characters (like a > â) . And the search results do not give the desired result. Is there a way to use Regex in search?

Best regards...

Hello ,

Thank you for writing.

You can search by a Regex by setting the TextSearchOptions.UseRegularExpression property to true. Thus, the Find /FindPrevious method will treat the text as a regular expression:

Telerik.Windows.Pdf.Documents.Fixed.Search.TextSearchOptions options = new TextSearchOptions();
options.UseRegularExpression = true;
string pattern = "[aâ]";
SearchResult result = this.radPdfViewer1.PdfViewerElement.FindPrevious(pattern, options);

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.
