GtkSource.SearchContext.replace_all

### Method

# GtkSource SearchContextreplace_all

#### Declaration [src]

    guint
    gtk_source_search_context_replace_all (
      GtkSourceSearchContext* search,
      const gchar* replace,
      gint replace_length,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Replaces all search matches by another text.

It is a synchronous function, so it can block the user interface.

For a regular expression replacement, you can check if `replace` is valid by calling `g_regex_check_replacement()`. The `replace` text can contain backreferences.

#### Parameters

`replace` | `const gchar*`
| The replacement text.
| The data is owned by the caller of the function.
| The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
`replace_length` | `gint`
| The length of `replace` in bytes, or -1.
`error` | `GError **`
| The return location for a `GError*`, or `NULL`.

#### Return value

Returns: | `guint`
| The number of replaced matches.
