gtk_source_utils_escape_search_text ()
gchar *
gtk_source_utils_escape_search_text (const gchar *text
);
Use this function to escape the following characters: \n, \r, \t and .
For a regular expression search, use g_regex_escape_string()
instead.
One possible use case is to take the GtkTextBuffer's selection and put it in a search entry. The selection can contain tabulations, newlines, etc. So it's better to escape those special characters to better fit in the search entry.
