string find reverse?

[tlhawkins]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to search for a substring from a starting point backwards. I'm in a TRichEdit component and I need to find the position of the previous carriage return.
chr(10) + chr(13)
and the following one. So what I want is the start and end of the line where the cursor (caret) is.

any ideas?
I was finding API calls that seemed to be able but it seemed a very long and involved way to find a single line.

help?
Thanks

TRichEdit.CaretPos property gives you the line number and position on the line. And the Lines property allows you to process the TRichEdit line by line. What more do you need?
