Hi
I have a Scrolled Text widget in my application. I am trying to implement an incremental search of a string on this text widget.
I have come up with the following logic , but it only highlights the first occurence and not the remaining ocuurences. Please help me to make it incremental for the entire text widget.
Following is my code 

sub nextText
{

   my $string = ${$searchText->cget(-textvariable)};
   $textWindow->FindNext("-forwards","-exact", '-nocase',  $string );

}

$searchText is an Entry widget to write the search string and $textWindow is the Tk::Scrolled ('Text') object .
Thanks.
