SearchContext.getOccurrencePosition

int getOccurrencePosition(gtk.text_iter.TextIter matchStart, gtk.text_iter.TextIter matchEnd)

Parameters

matchStartthe start of the occurrence.
matchEndthe end of the occurrence.

Returns

the position of the search occurrence. The first occurrence has the

position 1 (not 0). Returns 0 if match_start and match_end don't delimit an occurrence. Returns -1 if the position is not yet known.
